"Sofira" Pronunciation and explanation

Sofira is pronounced "So Fear uh" like "Sapphira" except with an "O" as in Sophia. Yes "Sapphira" is the name of the dragon on Eragon. Its also the name of a lady in the bible best known for how she lied in paying her tithing. (This is probably why this name never caught on) Sofira however has wisdom added to her name with the Sophia portion of it so therefore she wont ever make that mistake ;)

Coincidentally Jade ended up having the symbolic meaning of Wisdom as well. I was quite excited to discover this...

We will probably end up calling her "Sofi" quite often, though I give no guarantees we were planning on calling Evndar "Evn" and have never really done so "Vander" seemed to fit him better.
