I thought we had decided on a name for our little girl, which was Amy Grace....but, OH has suddenly decided he doesn't want the name Amy (its too short or summat?) Tut!

Tbh my fave girl names are Megan and Sophia but we already have a litttle Megan in our close family and my sister is called Sophie so just figured I couldn't use them...BUT then I was talking to mum last nite and she suggested Sophia and said it doesn't matter that it is a similar name, also if we spell it Sofia it looks quite different (although I know it still sounds the same!)
So what do you ladies think?
Is it odd to have Sofia Grace and Auntie Sophie or does that sound ok?
I probably wouldn't shorten it to Soph or anything so they wouldn't end up being called the same thing if that makes sense. But also worried it will make my other sister feel left out........help! lol xx

My daughter is called Sofia

, and i have a cousin called Sophie, I asked my aunt before i named her, just to make sure she didnt mind.

Well I think it is at the top of our baby names list at the moment...although OH is starting to change his mind about it now (he is a pain lol).
It is such a pretty name but I'll ask my sisters what they think first before we get too attached to it.
This naming decision is much harder than I thought it would be! What names have you chosen? xx

I share the same name as my aunt.

If you like the name, and your sister doesn't mind I say go for it!

RubyRainbows · Dec 3rd, 2009, 23:05 PM

I love Sofia, very pretty! As long as your sister doesn't mind (and i can't see what she would)... i think it's perfectly fine!

I think Sofia Grace sounds nicer than Amy Grace personally. You could shorten it to Fee/Fi if you wanted to shorten it later.

Aw yeah I like the idea of shortening it to Fi...thats quite sweet x

You could spell Amy as Aimee?
