My daughter is due in 3 weeks and I need help with the name! Her father wanted the name Sophie, so I am wanting to go with that. But, my dad (who places high priority on giving children 'normal and 'real' names) says that Sophie isn't a name itself-- It's a diminutive of Sophia. I'd be happy putting Sophia on the birth certificate and just calling her Sophie, except that I don't think Sophia goes well with my middle name- Ann.

So, I was thinking about using her father's middle name- Lee. But spelling it a more feminine way, such as Lea, Leah, or Leigh. I don't know which of these is the 'correct' spelling of the female version of Lee! t.t

So what do you think? Sophie Ann, Sophia Ann, Sophia Lee, Sophia Leah, etc etc.

I'd love to hear your input here, or you can vote on the official poll I created at http://www.teengravid.blogspot.com

Thanks
for your help!

I have a suggestion, how about Chiara Sophia. Chiara is the most beautiful name for me so in this combination it is also very nice! Take care and happy mylotting!

I really like Sophia Ann. The name sounds so nice and rich but Sophia Leah does not baby either but it kind of matters what your last name is.But it is still up to you and not your fahers but you can always respect his great opinion.

I like the name Sophia Leigh best. Have you tried looking online at baby-naming sites for ideas? Perhaps they can offer some names you might not have considered for a middle name if you are still looking for more options.
Best wishes for you and the new baby!

Let me ask you this...does the baby's father like the name Sophia as well? If does and agrees to call his daughter Sophie, fine, but if he's not wild about Sophia then name her Sophie. She is not your father's child so you don't have to follow his suggestion...you can name your baby whatever you want. Frank Zappa named one of his kids Moon Unit. You and the baby's father decide what the two of you like and, please, pay attention to what his wishes are. Sometimes men can feel pretty left out of the whole process of having a baby.

BTW, I like Sophie Leigh. It sound happy! thumbup

Whilst it is nice to get input from your parents, surely the naming of your child should be down to you and your partner.
Choose a name that you both like and are comfortable with.

I chose a name for my son but my husband wanted Alexander on the birth certificate, I just wanted Alex. So we named him the long name but only ever call him Alex. This was fine until he started school and his teachers kept on calling him Alexander which confuse him. I ended up going in to say his name his just Alex.

Anyway, I like both names but I think if you want the female version of Lee then it is spelt Leigh.

Good Luck with the birth of your baby.

Hello Iheartblogging!

First of all I want to say a big "CONGRATULATIONS". A baby brings such happiness and smiles to our faces.:) I am so happy for you.
Now, as far as the names you have chossen, I did a little search online and this is what I came up with.

1. Sophia, Sophie= Origin -Greek and the meaning is "Wisdom"
2. Ann, Anna= Origin -Hebrew and the meaning is "Gracious"
3. Leah= Origin -Hebrew and the meaning is "Weary"
4. Leigh= Origin -English and the meaning is "Field Meadow"

Now, check this out. You can even name her "Lee", because it is a unisex name the Origin -English and the meaning is "Field Meadow".

I hope this helped a little in making a decision. Good Luck!

Take care my friend and happy mylotting!:)

I really like the name Sophie. I see what your dad means by a "real" name, but (no offense) it's not your dad's kid. Your parents chose your name and honestly, it's one of the hardest choices you make as a parent.
If you decide to go with some variation of Lee, I would choose Leigh. That's my personal favorite. But you're right...the vowel sound at the end of Sophia doesn't flow well with Ann. But then again, the more I sit here and repeat it in my head, it could work.
With one of my kids, we still hadn't chosen a name when it was time to leave the hospital. We thought we could just fill out the birth certificate later. ha ha. But they made us do it before we left. Her middle name ended up being the name of the only other lady in the maternity ward. It was a beautiful name...Alise (first name Madeline). My other daughter is Amelia Kate. I like how those 2 names go together too.
Good luck with everything! The birth, the naming, the not sleeping. ha ha.
