I love Sophia! I like the meaning and the way it sounds.
I genaraly dislike nicknames and I think Sophia doesn't need one because it's not a long or unusual name. I like:
Sophia Noor
Sophia Margaret
Sophia Victoria

I really don't like it...And I know I'm in the vast minority with that opinion. I do think it ages pretty well though. I much prefer the name Sophie so yes I like Sophie as a nickname.My favourite combo of yours would be Sophia June.

The most stunning combo I've seen so far is Helen Sophia Caroline, where Helen and Caroline were the grandmothers and the order of names was just what pleased the parents best.That Sophia goes mostly by the full form (which is pronounced soFIEa) but sometimes by her childhood nn of Phia.I think it's a name for all ages: I do find Sophie rather flabby but the real thing is wonderful. Of your combos, Sophia Margaret and Sophia Jane are both lovely.

I think Sophia is a very feminine and elegant name and yes, imo, it ages well. I don't personally like using Sophie as a nn, as I see the two names as separate names. Of your combos I love:Sophia Jane
Sophia Belle
Sophia Pearl
Sophia Kate

I find Sophia to be way too popular for my tastes. The most popular name on my list is about number 300 give or take a hundred, on the U.S. Top 1000 girls list

Popularity aside, I really like this name. I can imagine it on any age, and Sophie is a cute nickname without going too far on cuteness.Of the combos you listed, I like Sophia June the best. Another one I like, although not listed, is Sophia Louise.

I love both Sophia and Sophie despite their popularity. I like to use them in combos as mns because I adore the meaning. Sophia Violet, Sophia Noor and Sophia Margaret are my favourites from your list.

It is a beautiful name.
Actually,here are two children in my husband's extended family called Sophia.
In fact, I kind of prefer Sophie, so , yes, it's a good nick-name.
I think Sophia will wear well. I like all of your combos except Sophia Belle. (I dislike "Belle" names.)As an aside, one of the Sophias I know has a sister whose middle name is Noor.

I like it, very elegant and classy. I think it will age well. I like Sophie (used to prefer it to Sophia) but to me they are two separate names, I wouldn't think to use Sophie as a nn for Sophia. It would be like a Joanna calling herself Joanne as a nickname.Anyway, out of your combos I would use Sophia Kate but I also like Sophia Pearl and Sophia Victoria (although it is quite long).

I really do like Sophia despite the popularity. I definitely think it ages well. I find it very worldly and sophisticated. I do like the nickname Sophie.Of your combos, my favorites are:
-Sophia June- I'm a sucker for June because I just adore it.
-Sophia Jane- I find that Jane works very well in the middle name slot with almost any other name.

The only thing I particularly like about it is certain people who happen to come w/ the name... Wasn't too appealing to me before it became popular (though it was tolerable) and now I'm as tired of as Sophia as I am of Jennifer- maybe moreso because Jennifer at least sounds nicer imo... though I'm tired of Jennifer too.

I really like Sophia, but I don't really think Sophie is a nn for it.
Sophie is just another form of the same name. I kind of see using Sophie as a nn the same as using Natalie as a nn for Natalia. Just nmsaa.It ages just fine. It's good for a girl of any age.I like/love*:Sophia Jane
Sophia Belle
Sophia Pearl*
Sophia Violet
Sophia MargaretI've always liked Aurora Sophia. I like the double A ending.

It's only okay to me- I prefer the spelling Sofia. However, I adore Sophie/ Sofie (as a full name, not a nn). Of your combos, Sophia Belle is adorable!

This is one name I hate with a passion, sorry. However, some of your mn's are superb June, Pearl, Noor, Violet and Margaret. I'd rather see the mn's I mentioned upfront and Sophia in the middle. Also Sophie, reminds me of soapy.

I'm not really a fan of Sophia, but it's alright. I do think it can fit about any age. Sophie is okay.
Sophia sounds very soft, so I don't think it goes with crisper names like Victoria, Volet, or Noor. I like Sophia Pearl, Sophia Belle, Sophia Margaret, Sophia Natalie, and Sophia Kate. I think Margaret is the best because it's strong-sounding, which means it balances out the softness of Sophia, but it doesn't clash.

I used to like Sophia, but after babysitting one, I can appreciate it but would never use it. I still love Sofia though and would use that spelling as a middle name. Sophie is an okay nickname, doesn't do much for me. I like:
Sophia June
Sophia Pearl
Sophia Noor
Sophia Violet
Sophia Margaret
