[Opinions] Sofia or Leah?

We can only agree on Anabela (this spelling only) as a middle name. I have always loved Sofia, popular or not. Leah has been on my list for a long time too, I think it's such a sweet name.

Which combo do you prefer?

Sofia Anabela or Leah Anabela? (Lee-ah)

Which name do you prfer on it's own

Sofia or Leah?

Thanks. :)

Sofia is lovely, but it has gotten way too popular. I'd go with Leah.

For your family, I prefer Sofia. For me, I'd choose Leah.

Sofia! Definitely, although I prefer Sofiya, just because it looks a bit more exotice & isn't written that way as much, which makes up a bit for its popularity(:

Do I even have to answer that, lol?

But, I do also like Leah and against a name like Olivia, Lily or Rose, Leah wins every time, but sofia reigns supreme with me:-)

Definitely Sofia

I really dislike Leah, and especially its meaning. Sofia is beautiful and elegant while Leah seems kind of dull. I'd prefer Sofia Annabella, though.

Oh and how about Lia instead of Leah?

Lia goes better with the names of your other kids and I think it looks prettier. So yeah, my choice is still Sofia, but Lia isn't as bad as Leah. I usually love Hebrew names, but Leah doesn't do it for me.

I'm warming up to Lia. I actually think Lia Anabela looks very pretty. Lia does look a lot nicer with my kids name. I also like Emilia nn Lia. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Leah

I don' really care very much for Sofia. Though it does work better with Anabela.

I dont really like either or them with the middle name Anabela but I prefer Leah over Sofia.

Both names are lovely. But Sofia sounds best with Anabela.

Leah Anabela. I don't like Sofia it reminds me of a cat

On its own, I prefer Leah. However, I think Sofia Anabela sounds better. Either would make a lovely choice.

I prefer the combo Leah Annabela, but on its own I prefer Sofia.

Leah Anabela is adorable. I've never been a fan of Sofia but i do like Sofie but i prefer Leah by far and i'd put money on there being more Sofia Anabela's/Annabel's around than Leah Anabela's

I like Sofia Anabela more, although I probably slightly prefer Leah on its own. Leah Anabela has too many L sounds and the vowel sounds don't match quite as well as they do in Sofia Anabela.

Prefer Leah on its own (I prefer the spelling Sophia) but Sofia Anabela is absolutely gorgeous!

Sofia.

I love both names.

I prefer Sophia over Leah, but Leah over the spelling Sofia. Leah is also my niece's name, so it will always hold appeal for me. Leah Anabela flows better too, I think.

Can you remind me of your other children's names? If I remember correctly, I get the feeling Sofia sounds better with them.

My kids names are Isabel, Nicolas, Cristian and Matias.

I think Sofia does go better with my kids names too. I have just always had a soft spot for Leah . :)

They are all beautiful. Sofia definitely does go better with them. To be honest, I don't think you can go wrong with either name. Both are stunning :)

I do tend to lean more towards Sofia, especially with my kids names. Dh is no help, he likes them both too.

Thanks for your comments. :)
