[Opinions] Safia (baby girl)
I think I would spell it like this instead of Safiyah for the sake of simplicity. What do you think of the name and the spelling?

I like Safia very much, although I think Safiyah would fit the pronounciation better. Safia has a good meaning too.

I prefer Sophia to be honest, but Safia looks less creative than Safiyah.

How is Safiyah (and Safia) pronounced? The first thing I think is sa-FEE-ya, then sa-FIE-ah (I really like the second one, but spelt Sapphia)

sa-FEE-yasa-FEE-ya

I know a Safia (spelled that way). It's nice.
(She's 23 by the way, so not a baby)...

Is it the same as Safiya? Safiya is a variant of Safiyyah and I think it's pretty simple. I'm not really sure how it's pronouced but it sounds nice.

I dont really like it. To me it looks like an odd spelling of Sofia.
