I've only ever heard Sofia and Sophia as So-fee-a, although I've heard it in a song as So-fie-a.

I'm with you on Ayvah, why indeed?!

I assumed Sophia / Sofia was pronounced with the short i sound, however, I've come across it and Maria before being pronounced with the long i sound in the UK and was curious.

Yes, I think those pronunciations are both obsolete here now.
