I actually don't know anyone named Sophia / Sophie or Sofia. I don't consider the name to be trendy either, I think it's just popular. I do like the name though and Sophie aswell. They are both pretty and feminine.

1. How many people do you know named Sophia, Sophie, or Sofia, and what are their ages?
I don't know anyone named Sophia, Sophie or Sofia

2. Do you consider it "trendy" or just "popular?"
I don't think it's trendy, I'd say it's semi-popular

---

3. What are a few names that are particularly popular among young children in your area right now (I ask just to have a basis for comparison.)
Emma, Jaden, Ethan, Matthew, Ryan, Abigal, Audrey, Jacob, Braden, Logan, Madison, Olivia. Sophie et al aren't nearly as popular as these names.

1. How many people do you know named Sophia, Sophie, or Sofia, and what are their ages? Just one. She'll be 2 in a couple of months.

2. Do you consider it "trendy" or just "popular?" Popular.

3. What are a few names that are particularly popular among young children in your area right now (I ask just to have a basis for comparison.) Elena, Caden, Abby, Emma, Austin, Tyler, Jacob, Kayla. Those are the ones off the top of my head that I have seen a lot locally.

I love Sophie/Sophia! I only personally know one person named Sophie, and she is 15. I don't exactly consider it trendy...I've heard of people of all ages named Sophie or Sophia.

Some names popular among young girls where I live are: Katherine/Katie, Lindsey, Ashley, Emily, etc. I seem to hear these names countless times on young children or babies.

Oh, I am in the same situation as you. I plan on naming my first daughter Sophia, but it does concern me that it has become so popular lately.

I only know one Sophia and she is about 15 years old.

This is such an old fashioned name that I don't think you can consider it "trendy" at all. It just happens that a lot of people like the name right now and it is very "popular." I would say the same for names like Olivia, Catherine/Katherine, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Emma, etc etc.

In my area the most popular names are Madison, Olivia, Jacob, Caleb.

1. I love the name Sophie. Unfortunately, I know four Sophies under the age of six. I do also know one Sophia who is a toddler. Other than that, the only one I can think of is Sophia Loren. So Sophia seems a slightly better bet to me.

---

2. I consider it popular. When I think "trendy", I think of something that is a flash-in-the-pan. Something that becomes all the rage out of nowhere, and then just as quickly goes out of fashion. Sophia, on the otherhand, is actually a very old name that has just gone in and out of style from generation to generation. It just happens to be a peak period again now.

---

3. Besides Sophie, some girls names I hear a lot where I live are:
Emily, Emma, Olivia, Abigail "Abby", Grace, Madeline "Maddie", Chloe, Isabelle/Isabella, Katie/Katelyn/Kate

1. I know 1 Sophie and 3 Sophias, the Sophie is around 40 and the Sophias are 27, 3 and 18 mos.

---

2. I consider it popular, but its too much of a classic to be trendy. In Chicago, where I live, I think its in the top 10 in girl names, and I know its also very high nationwide.

---

3. Other names that are popular in my area - Isabel/lle/lla; Aidan; Jack; Charles (nn Charlie); Olivia; Madeleine (and variations); and Katherine/Kathleen with nn Katie. I know or know of at least two of each of these, all in kids under 5. Charlie and the Isabel variations are the most popular.

1. Sophie - 1 (15), Sophia/Sofia - 3 or 4 (16 or 17, and I'm not sure of the spelling except for one, my good friend Sofia, who goes by Sofi)

---

2. I think they're both trendy-ish here (UK), but not horribly so.

---

3. Courtney and Brandon seem to be the most popular. Pretty much, if you look at the most popular names in the US ten years ago, they're the most popular names in my area now. There's also a trend of double-barrelled names...Ellie-Mae, Sophie-Jae, etc.

1. I know no one names Sophie, Sophia, Sofia, etc.
2. I think it is just popular.
3. Blaze, Parker, Olivia, Victoria, Jacob, Zachary, Sarah

I like it, but for some reason I prefer Sophie. I don't know anyone with this name. Young or old. The names that seem to be popular around my area amoung the newborns are Lauren, Alyssa and Avery. Those are the popular girls names anyway.

1. I know no one with the name Sophia, Sophie, or Sofia.

---

2. I consider it trendy.

---

3. Ashley(& other spellings), Brittany(& other spellings), Amanda, Elizabeth, Anna, & Emily.

1. How many people do you know named Sophia, Sophie, or Sofia, and what are their ages? I know one Sophia about 14, about 15 Sophie's (and a few Sofie's) aged between 1 and 30 and no Sofia's. Sophie is very very popular in my area.

---

2. Do you consider it "trendy" or just "popular?" I think it just popular.

3. What are a few names that are particularly popular among young children in your area right now (I ask just to have a basis for comparison.) Jacob, Esme, Sophie, Amelia, Joseph are all names I've seen in BA's alot recentley.
