Sophia

Much like Karen, the name Sophia has a deep cultural meaning. To call someone a Sophia is to attribute a suite of elitist characteristics and unpredictable eccentricities onto a person.

A Sophia tends to be aesthetically pleasing yet demanding in her expectations of others (and other things) to reach her own almost unrealistic levels of beauty.

In a past life, most likely in the period of Hellenistic Greece, Sophia would have been an empress.

Like a Rubik’s cube, a Sophia has many colourful sides, which are best appreciated unsolved.

“Johnnie doesn’t want to go to the Gold Coast for New Year’s.”

“Why not?”

“He thinks it’s trashy and you can’t find a restaurant with a decent enough oyster menu.”

“Ouch.”

“Yeah, he’s acting like a real Sophia.”
