Agree with above poster, Elizabeth Sophia just doesn't roll off the tongue very well but Sophia Elizabeth definitely does Smile

It depends what you want to call your daughter on a day-to-day basis. Middle names are rarely used.

Are they both middle names?

Thank you girls. I get it, Sophia Elizabeth sound nicer. Is this based on how they sound together?

Do you generally like the first name Sophia better than Elizabeth? Thanks!

Depends how you're pronouncing Sophia for me. I would say it So-fie-a but lots of people seem to say So-fee-a.

I prefer the name Elizabeth by a long way, but as a pair Sophia Elizabeth flows better.

My niece is Sophia Elizabeth..... Just saying

I love both names but I love Sophia a bit more than Elizabeth. Sophia Elizabeth just seems to flow better imo but I like both.

I disagree with everybody, it seems. Elizabeth Sophia flows much better to my ears, as you don't have the two vowels colliding in the middle.
