[Opinions] Gophia
I just had a customer with this name. As I was writing it down for her I mentioned what an interesting name I thought it was, but she didn’t seem like she wanted to elaborate so I dropped it and moved on. I can’t find an origin so I suspect it’s made up.I don’t like it for a human being, but it definitely makes me want to write a children’s book about gophers. Thoughts?

Looks like a typo of Sophia tbh.

Gophia the Gopher? Please write it, please!It looks as if someone had read a (badly) handwritten name that looked like Gophia but was intended to be Sophia ...

There's a children's character in the UK called Gordon the Gopher. It's considered obscure by today's standards, but it starred a young Phillip Schofield in cute 80s / early 90s clothing.If one were to write about a Gopher, I'd consider that it might get mixed up with this one

Yup.Agreed. Just stick with Sophia. I don’t know what the hell a Gophia is.
