I love it! It's beautiful and different and a bit extravagant. Sounds like a real opera diva. Gail Carriger has written a series of steampunk novels about a Sophronia Angelina Teminninck. Among her friends is a girl called Dimity and a boy called Pillover.

I like it, but I prefer Sophrosyne (sof-froz-eu-nay)

Seems a little overdone and dated to me. I know a Sophronia and she HATES her name. She's a lovely person, but maybe her opinion of her name has influenced mine.

Sophronia is pretty and has Victorian flair to it without feeling old fashioned. I imagine a Sophronia as attractive, spunky and innovative. The heroine in the young adult book "Etiquette and Espionage" is named Sophronia, so the name also has a Steampunk association for me. For a nick name, I like Ria or Nia more than Sophie or Ronnie, but it is nice that the name has so many nick name options.

I adore it! It's so grandiose.

Love both the sound and the meaning. It's a nice alternative to the super popular Sophia.

I find this name interesting and pleasant. It sounds like the name of a fairy or a pixie. A good combination is Wendy Sophronia.
