Same era, but close to Sophie
These names follow Sophie's curve too, but we left them out above because they share a first letter or an ending with Sophie. Some parents like that echo; if you do, start here.
How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Sophie's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Sophie's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Sophie or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Sophie itself are excluded.
