Sophy looks to me like a cross between soapy and trophy.

I like Sophie, but Sophy is ugly. It looks utterly rediculous and really, there's no real reason to spell it differently, in English, at least. It adds absolutely nothing to the name and just makes it look childish and kr8tive. Blah.

I'm not a fan of Sophie in any form and I think Sofie looks awful. I think Sophy looks a lot softer than sharp Sophie but because they are pronounced exactly the same it doesn't have a massive impact. My favourite always has been Sophia though.

Soapy. That's all I see.

Hmmm. Why? Or should I say "y"? :)
I suppose it clarifies that it is "just" Sophy, not Sophie short for Sophia. But it might not even do that. If you give me a good reason, I might be swayed, but for now it seems unnecessary and makes me think of soapy.

Soapy is all I see with Sophy. I'd stay away from using a "y."

Sophie > Sophy > SofieTbh it looks a bit like a misspelling that a young child would make. But no matter what spelling, Sophie/Sophy/Sofie/etc is a million times better than Sophia. I do like the name Sophie but I wouldn't use it.

I prefer Sophie, but I don't mind Sophy. The Sophy spelling feels more "country" to me--a little more pastoral, a little less sophisticated--but I'm not sure why. It's not a bad thing, just a different feel from either Sophie or Sophia.

The difference of Sophie and SophyI totally agree that Sophie and Sophy have different feels to them. In my mind Sophy could be a name used in Oliver Twist (which I'm reading). I feel it would very much fit into Dickens's London and fall into line with Nancy, Betsey, Charlotte & Rose.

This spelling makes me want to say it saw-fie, like softy without the t-sound. Sort of like Sophocles.

To me it's no different than Sophie, which I can't stand. If anything, Sofie looks worse.

Well, Sofie does look worse ;)
