I agree with Anneza. At first I actually thought this was some variant spelling of Sophia. In its native country it’s fine and I Gen a bit cool, but in other places it might be a bit inconvenient.

I've no clue how it works in Khmer: popular, dated, classic, associated with a celebrity, a product, a TV commercial ... ? In Anglophone places it looks like a misprint of Sophia, or perhaps a misguided attempt to make Sophia youneek or to establish the preferred spelling.

It's tagged as being top 10 in Cambodia, so there it is probably well liked!I agree with Anneza though, outside of Cambodia it would probably be confused with Sophia.If you had Cambodian heritage though people would get used to it quickly enough.
