Isa, Tirza, or Sophie?

RoosGuest ·
Hi! We're really torn between the names Isa, Tirza, and Sophie. I've loved Sophie for years, but it's such a shame that it's so popular now. We like Isa, but it's biblical (even internationally), and that doesn't quite fit us. Isa is also quite common. Tirza is much less common, but maybe sounds a bit harsh, is also biblical, and might be too complicated.
We'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!

    You won't get anything from me. All 3 beautiful names!

    I think Sophie is the most beautiful name of the three. It's just really mega popular though. I know 7 of them myself. Just got back from a holiday at a campsite in the NL and there were at least 15 of them around. The name is also high on my list, but because of the popularity it might fall off. I do think it's a plus that it's not a trend name, like for example Vajen, and I feel the same with Isa. Sophie has been a popular name for years, so I think you won't get tired of it anytime soon.
    Thirza isn't really my thing. To make a long story short; I'd go for Sophie in this case. Good luck with the choice!

    Of these three names, I think Isa is the prettiest!

    I think they're all beautiful, but I'd go with Tirza myself. In my opinion, with popular names, it also depends on how common the last name is. If your child is named Sophie de Vries, for example, she'll hardly be traceable online later on. Is Sophia an option? It's a bit less common and it's a mix between Isa and Sophie.

    I’d totally go for Tirza!! Isa is passé and Sophie is way too popular. I think Tirza is really beautiful.

    I'd probably go with Thirza, but spelled that way. Isa is also on my list. I really like both names. Thirza is heard less often, so I find it slightly more appealing.

    I definitely think Tirza is a gorgeous girl's name Strong and yet girly at the same time. It was on my list for our eldest daughter too.
    But my husband didn't really like this name. It became Yara
    I also think it's beautiful for our daughter and it really fit her right away.
    But I've always had a soft spot for Tirza.

    Isa! It's also at the top of my list, for years now, and now it's almost time (if it's a girl). However, consider maybe an alternative form like Ise or Ize because Isa is so common...

    What do you think of Ise? Just a bit more original than Isa!
