The Other Sophia by Sophia Watwood is a compelling memoir describing the struggle of having a name too common, amongst too many. She writes it in a letter format, addressed to the other Sophias. Watwood tells her story of looking up to the other Sophia, to becoming her Sophie.
My name is tough. It's difficult to say, and even more difficult to spell. No one else has my name. What I once looked at as a curse, I now see as a blessing. This piece showed me that my name is something I should embrace, and that I'm lucky to call it my own.
