Is Sona better when played alongside Nami?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Sona that will 100% of the time be her #1 ally. However, overall, Nami is a very bad companion for Sona. By locking into the same side as Sona, she drops their win rate by -10.9% to 39.5%. This signals that there is a very bad strategic relationship between Sona and Nami that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Nami has a greater difficulty than Sona. That means Sona players must be careful when arranging Nami allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Fighting together, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide utility and CC for your side. Combined, these champs will help their other teammates secure a victory.

In contrast, by bringing Sona and Nami together, you may not be providing your side much cover. Plan to pick other champions on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Nami ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
