Thought there might be a German connection. I believe that Anna and Sophie/a are popular in Germany at the moment. Several of DD's kindergarten friends were either one or the other.

thanks,
The Sophia Anna combination seems to get the thumbs down from most people.
so i think it will have to be either Sophie Anna or Anna Sophia.... I can agonise about these two options now for the next few days grin
any more comments appreciated.
I don't live in Germany but my husband has German heritage.

Agree, Anna Sophia would be even better than the other combinations.

Anna Sophia gets my vote.

What's your first name? (Not yours, the one for the baby grin)

When she is being a little monkey I think Sophie Anna flows much better when said in haste- Sophia Anna turns into a bit of a tongue twister.

Although I prefer Sophia alone, Sophie Anna is lovely!

Are you any closer to a decision?

Sophie Anna sounds better than Sophia Anna.

Or Anna Sophia.

Are you German, Kotek, or living in Germany?

If they are both middle names, then it doesn't matter that much.

Anna Sophia sounds the best. I know a couple of girls called this.

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
