Hi, Following all of the positive responses to my last post and sitting on it for a week or so DH have finally decided that DD2 will be called Lara DD1 continues to refer to her as "Baby Ari" so it looks like this may end up being her NN - time will tell! Our surname is a fairly strong German name with 1 syllable so I have been looking into longer pretty family names that will compliment Lara. DH has vetoed Isabella, Elizabeth & Juliette but is coming around to Sophia. Lara Sophia just feels "right" to me IYKWIM but would I love to get some objective thoughts or suggestions... Thanks

Lara Sophie is fine. I dont know what your last name is so it will be Lara Sophie Blahblah and I think that sounds very nice

Lara Sophia is pretty but for something almost the same, I think Lara Sophie flows much nicer. Lara Juliette does sound gorgeous too, shame you can't use it. Other suggestions: Lara Imogen Lara Charlotte Lara Frances Lara Claudette Lara Adelaide Lara Katherine Lara Madeleine Lara Bethany Lara Phoebe Lara Xanthe Lara Emmeline Lara Violet Lara Josephine Lara Annabelle Lara Eloise Lara Georgette Lara Harriet Lara Celeste Lara Estelle Lara Yasmin Lara Maisie Lara Natalie Lara Emily

I think the double a sound at the end is not as nice as Laura Sophie as PP have suggested.

Lara Sophia is lovely, I don't have a problem with the two "a" endings. Especially as you have a one syllable surname. Personally I'd spell it Sofia, but that's a personal preference (Spanish influence here).

Thanks for your responses... Forgot to mention that SIL's dog is called Sophie which would be a bit weird plus Sophia is a family name

Lara Sophia flows perfectly and especially with a monosyllabic surname.
