Lillian Sophia or Alexandra Sophie?

Question

My husband and I are expecting a baby girl and we can't agree on the name. The middle name will be Sophie or Sophia, after my husband's Aunt Sophie who recently passed away. We're down to:

Alexandra Sophie "Allie" (my pick)

Lillian Sophia "Lily" (husband's pick)

Keep in mind that we'd like our daughter's name to match with our three-year-old daughter's name, Clara Madeleine. Which name do you prefer?

Answer 1

lily sophia but it depends on what your last name is

Answer 2

i like your husbands pick better, cuz it's less common and cuter!  I think it goes well with the other name, but they're two different individuals! they're names shouldnt have to match

Answer 3

  How about : [ you could use this name and cover all names]? Lillian Alex Sophia,you could use 2 middle names,these are to match your daughter's name you already have:Christina Marie? or Carmella Mae,Charity Miah? Its up to you, hope these helped!

Answer 4

Personally, I prefer your choice of names - Alexandra Sophie!

I can't stand the name Lillian even though I love the name Lily.

Go figure.

P.S. Clara Madeleine is a lovely combination by the way. Well done!

Answer 5

Lily! I like Clara too.

BTW, why is Lillian shortened to Lily with one "l"? I know that is the proper spelling, just don't know why...

Answer 6

Alexandra Sophie...  classy, french-sounding name.  

Answer 7

i like Alexandra Sophia actually it has a cute ring to it!  and i love the nick name Allie!

i would actually do Lillian Sophie but i like Alexandra Sophia much better!

they are both such beautiful names, as is Clara Madeleine. it's a tough choice, but i guess i'll choose Alexandra Sophie. (maybe i am a little biased being that my name is Sandra)

Lillian Sophia, because I really like the sound of  Clara and Lily

Answer 18

Wow they both sound beautiful um i would go with Alexandra Sophie i think well what ever you pick would be very nice.

Answer 19

First of all, I love your three-year-old daughter's name.  I would vouch for Lillian Sophia.

Answer 20

If I were I a baby I would deffinatley do with Alexandra because its well u can shorten it to Alex but I wouldnt want my nick name to be Allie well between Allie and Lily, I like lily. I mean wen kids grow up people call them by nicknames and Sophie is better than Sophia

Answer 21

Lily and Allie are such adorable names. I can't decide. Hmm. Probably Alexandra Sophie, just because if she has to use the long form for something she'd probably rather Alexandra over Lillian which is kind of old fashioned. Hover i love the name Lily so much!  

Answer 22

lilian/ cuz it has a kute nikname ! LILY

Answer 23

lillian sophia lily is a cute nick name! good luck.
