Which name(s) would you NOT choose?

[nat108]

Ellery sticks out like a sore thumb because it's masculine/unisex
Since you don't want a nn I'd scratch Madeline. It's a mouthful and doesn't have the spunk of Sofia
Are you pronouncing Lila "ly-la"? If not "lee-la" and Sofia are too close but Sofia & "ly-la" are nice. I won't vote on it since I'm not sure how you're pronouncing it

[catloverd]

Sofia and Ellery are really different so I don't like that one as well and I dislike Sofia & Amelia because they both in "uh" sounds, too matchy for my tastes

[desperatelyseekingname]

lila is pronounced lie-luh if that changes anyones opinion. not sure if you are reacting to a lee-luh pronunciation or just the a ending

I voted against Sofia & Lila, Sofia & Juliet, and Sofia & Ellery.

I chose Sofia and Ellery,Sofia and Amelia (too similar in sound) and Sofia and Madeleine. I don't like the way Sofia and Madeleine sound together,Sophie and Madeleine flow better (I know you can't change your little girls name but just explaining why I don't like the sound).

I like Sofia and Charlotte quite a lot though

I voted for two names that I dislike the most with Sofia...

1 Ellery - because it's so different in style to Sofia
2 Amelia - too rhymey with Sofia

All of the other choices are fine with Sofia (including Lila which does end the same but isn't too matchy any other way).

[desperatelyseekingname]

Since someone has voted for each name, is there a "perfect" name(s) that would go with Sofia? Am I completely missing the boat with my pairings? again the "f" spelling is not an ethnic choice

I chose Sofia and Ellery. Sofia feels modern to me, but also very timeless as it goes back centuries and has its history in the ancient Greek language. It is rich in history and has that rich, European feel, while still feeling modern and fun, and that's what I love about Sofia. It's international. It's girly. It's chic.

While I really like Ellery, it's just modern, imo, it doesn't have a lot of history for the girls, from what I know, although it's been around as a form of Hilary for a while. It's unisex, and it just doesn't exude class quite like the popular Sofia does. I think Charlotte, Amelia, Juliet, Lila, Catherine, and even Madeline (although I think Sofia and Madeleine would be a better match--Madeleine has that ageless French/European vibe, much like Sofia's European richness, and while Madeline is legitimate, I've always heard it was made up for the Madeline books, so it isn't quite a perfect match like I think Madeleine would be. I like that Sofia and Madeleine are fairly similar in popularity, too...) all work incredibly well with Sofia, though. I have to say, I adore most of your choices. Charlotte, Juliet, Lila, and Catherine are all huge favorites of mine and I think they're fabulous with Sofia!

Good luck!

I voted wrong --- oops! I meant to vote positively for all combos expect for Ellery & Sofia.

Sophia and Ellery - Sophia is popular, but classic - Ellery is just trendy.
