[Opinions] Sophonisba
This ancient beauty has been hovering on the periphery of my list of beloved names for a while, but I sense it moving closer to the center. I love the contrast between the soft, familiar "soph" and the bristly final "isba." Are there any other Sophonisba admirers out there?Here are some combos:Sophonisba Alice
Sophonisba Caroline
Sophonisba Clare
Sophonisba Claudia
Sophonisba Constance
Sophonisba Diana
Sophonisba Diantha
Sophonisba Edith
Sophonisba Eugenie
Sophonisba Eulalie
Sophonisba Frances
Sophonisba Hester
Sophonisba Ianthe
Sophonisba Ingrid
Sophonisba Irene
Sophonisba Julia
Sophonisba Rachel
Sophonisba Roxane
Sophonisba Ruth

Way, way too much for me. Sophronia, while also obnoxious, is a bit tamer, so I prefer it so Sophonisba. Sophonisba Alice, Sophonisba Constance, Sophonisba Edith, Sophonisba Frances, Sophonisba Hester, Sophonisba Ingrid, Sophonisba Irene, and Sophonisba Roxane are nice combos, though.

Okay, I'm not really sure what to do with a response like this. I'd rather you not comment at all if all you're going to say is "sorry dont like it."

Well, I'm not one. The two syllables "isba" are not attractive.
