Name help please - 2 spelling choices!!!

So, we have finally decided on a name, now just need help to decide which spelling of it to go with..

I like Saphia Jasmine and OH likes Safia Jasmine...

Please help us decide on which spelling to use... it has taken us this long to find a name we both like

If you see potential problems with the name please also say!

Thanks ladies!

I like the look of Safia more. Do you pronounce it SAF-ia or sa-FIA? Does that make sense?

Is the pronunciation strong on the Fi part (sa-fee-a) or is it pronounced saf -eea??)
If its the former I would use PH. I hope this makes sense. Ive never seen that name before so wouldnt have a clue what way was the right way to pronounce it. x

Makes sense to me. I was just posting the same thing before I saw yours and trying to figure out if it would make sense to anyone else lol x

Safia or even Saffia, reminds me of Saffron I think if you spelled it Saphia people would think it's just Sophia with a typo.

Thanks ladies... maybe I should give in then and go with his choice of spelling...

I would prounouce it Sa-fia - emphasising the fia bit I think, but OH is Moroccan and pronounces it very slightly differently... I always thought it would be pronounced like Sophia but with an 'a' instead... Sophia was my first choice but OH wasn't quite so keen...
