What are your thoughts on the name Sophia? How do you feel about the variant Sofia?
I love both honestly. The meaning is also really good.

Used to dislike it, it’s really grown on me but it’s way too overused.
I liked Sophia when I was a little girl - and actually, I liked Sophie even more. Sophie was soft, but not necessarily weak as it still had "pep" to it.
Both names were refreshing in the 90s. Now, however, they are completely played out, to the point where I don't really have a response when I hear them. I mean, I don't hate Sophia / Sophie, but I doubt I could ever work up enthusiasm toward them again.
Sofia is probably one of the few cases where I think the F-spelling looks better than the Ph-spelling. This is also the more traditional Italian spelling, so the one my family would've liked better (I think) if I'd used the name. I don't like Sofie, though (there you need the "ph").

Great meaning, internationally recognised, pleasant & lyrical sound. Sofia is ok, but I prefer the ph, it looks softer.

Yaaaaaaawn
It's pretty, sure, but it needs to be retired. It's acquired a spoiled-princess vibe.
Sophonisba and Sophronia are better.

The meaning is great. It is elegant and distinguished. It has been used in multiple countries and across multiple time periods. Right now, it is super popular, but I understand the appeal. Sophia isn't a name that I will personally end up using, but, if you don't mind popularity, then go for it.
