Help[Opinions] Sunflowers
For some reason, the name Zofia reminds me of a sunflower field. I do not know why. It's meaning has nothing to do with sun or flowers, why is this? Does anyone else have this with this name or others? What do you think when hearing this name?

It does!
Perhaps you have a form of synaesthesia. I think a number of us on these boards do. I've got the most common form (grapheme colour synaesthesia) whereby I see names and months and days of the week in colour, depending on the colour of their initial letter. Thus M names are always reddish pink to me, S names sunny yellow. Z names are metallic grey to me, so Zofia is that colour. Sophia is sunny yellow.
PS But although Sarah should be sunny yellow it's a drab yellow because I always think of the word "sour" when I see or hear it. (Apologies to all Sarahs). Sara without the h is sunny yellow to me. Weird.

this is interesting! I can see that. but it's weird, in Polish we have słonecznik which is nothing in common with Zofia haha
It reminds me in Russian we can call them podsolnechnik :)
Sounds very innocent, and is popular in Ukraine,land of sunflowers.(sorry if this sounds offensive)
Zofia is in Poland
