**CONGRATULATIONS!!!** Here’s hoping they don’t drive you nuts in about 10 years. Being the youngest of two daughters, I know it’s hell. I apologize to my mom all the time. Give those girls all the love you possibly can and then more! Little girls are the light in their daddy’s lives. Many congrats to you and your (growing) family!!! 😃 ---

Mazel Tov !!! How beautiful. Another Doper. Quick, register her ! 😃 And, since this **is** The Straight Dope, her name means… \*\*SOPHIA Gender: Feminine Usage: English, Greek, German, Italian, Ancient Greek Other Scripts: É?ÉÕɔɫÉø (Greek) Pronounced: so-FEE-a [key] Means “wisdom” in Greek. This was the name of an early, probably mythical, saint who died of grief after her three daughters were martyred.\*\* ---
