stupid, I know

I get so upset when someone mispronounces my little girls name.. It's sophia not sophie.. I know it's stupid but come on.. I've told them what her name is and they always ask me "how is Sophie?" I calmly say "sophia is fine" she isn't even here yet..

My daughter will be 4 in February, and all the time I am irritated at people for pronouncing her name wrong! Her name is Kiara pronounced key-are-uh. NOT Keira if I wanted her name to be pronounced like that I would have named her that! I get pissed off and say its KEY ARE uh. NOT kere uh!

My names jessica, jess for short lol  and I get soooo pissed off when people call me jessie, like I said my names jess not frign jessie, so ugly. A lot of people say my daughters name differently but I like the way they both sound. Her names Aaliyarose & half people say Ah-lee-ah-rose but its A-leah-rose. Im with you though I hate the name sophie, sophia is way better

A lot of people use Sophie in short for Sophia, mainly because its rolls right off of the tongue. I guess their too lazy to pronounce the extra syllable. Maybe if you keep correcting them, they'll get the message... I hope so! :) (my MIL's name is Sophia :))
