Definitely SophiaI adore Sophia. Sophie, while a legit full name, is so cutesy, fluffy and babyish sounding to me. I can't see it on anyone over four.Also, I would never want my child's future employer to look at her resume and think, "Wow, Sophie doesn't know the appropriate time to put her full name on a document!".

Both are nice, but if you used Sophia, you could always use Sophie as a nickname.

Sophia. Sophie is very popular here and Sophia looks and sounds prettier to me. Marija Luminitsa already mentioned that it was the original in her reason and that's also part of mine.

Sophia, because I'm all about Greek names and also because it is the original.

Sophie. It sounds sweet but sophisticated at the same time to me, while Sophia sounds overly elegant and too frilly for me. Odd but true. :b

Sophia for sure! It sounds so much more mature to me. The brand name of the company that makes those short cheerleading shorts is also called Sofee. I wouldn't name my child after a pair of shorts. That's just what I think when I hear Sofee, most people would never make that association! :)

I prefer Sophia with the nickname Sophie. I think Sophie on it's own sounds too nicknamey for me.

SophieSophia is a classic. But it feels too big. Like Sophia Loren: big hair, big eyes, big lips, big ___s. Too much.Sophie is light, breezy, energetic, ever-youthful. Sophie is flirtatious and light on her feet.

Sophie...I like it a lot better. Sophia seem to get pro. SO-fe-yuh a lot instead of Soph-ee-uh which I don't like. Sophie is simpler, cuter, and less common.

Sophia to me sounds pretty and makes me think of the meaning, wisdom.Sophie sounds cutesy and makes me thing of something soapy.

Sophie. She's lighter, more ethereal and ages just as well as the ponderous Sophia.

Sophia, actually Sofia. More classic and beautiful. Less nicknamey and cutesy.

Sophie, because I find it a bit more elegant in a simple, understated way. Also, I don't think it gets enough love, what with people branding it a nickname for Sophia willy-nilly. (Not in terms of how many kids are named Sophie, of course, that isn't what I meant.) I generally prefer -e forms of names (Anne) to -a forms (Anna).

Sophia seems more sophisticated, whereas Sophie seems more cutesy. I'd pick Sophia.

Sophia, I guess. I don't like either much, I prefer Sofia.
