Cleo, quite a few folks have made the same comment as you have, but when I'm sent an unnamed variety I always go back to the person from whom I got seeds and in this case Barry asked the woman who gave him the seeds to name it.

It was her "choice" to name it Sophie's Choice, for whatever reason she had.
