[jamakin]

any opinions on the name Sia for a girl? i really love the name but not sure if its too try hardy. and don't really think its very common.

[belfie]

I think it's just lovely! Go for it!

[Kristin27]

How would it be pronounced? Like sigh-ya, or see-ya??

[[M]umma[M]ia]

its not bad... go for it if it feels right.

[summerluven]

I really really like it! Go for it. It is pretty, modern, and havent' heard of it before so you aren't likely to get 6 of them in the one class (unlike poor little DS...sob. hee hee).

[Mumtobe123]

I'm not sure. Where did you here it?

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

She'll have a few people asking if her name is Mia because that's more common and is similar. But it's quite a pretty name, I like longer names for me so wouldn't use it but it is nice.

[Nai]

All I can think of is the playground taunt "See ya, wouldn't want to be ya!" but if you think you can deal with then it isn't bad.

[Megan]

I know a Sia, but hers is short for Anastassia.
I don't mind it. I usually prefer names that aren't too common.

[Lulu]

I quite like it!

[Snacks]

I love the singer, Sia. Her music is awesome. So I guess it has good connotations for me, therefore I like it
For ages, my sister pronounced it 'Sha' until we heard her name being pronounced 'see-ah' on the radio, LOL.

[smiles4u]

... I was going to ask the same question as KRISTEN27 !!!!!!

It looks lovely ... AND I would be so interested to know which way of two is it pronounced ??

[Amie]

There's a beautiful song called "Breathe Me" by an australian singer called Sia! She's getting a (tiny) bit more popular now and her newer stuff is a little more quirky, but she has a gorgeous voice and I think it's a gorgeous name!

[jamakin]

thankyou all so much for your opinions + input. i really love the singer Sia, and thought it was such a lovely, unusual name! (although it could be short for something else?)
i would pronounce it 'See-ah' . not sure if we'll go with it yet.. still a few months to decide, but its definatley on the short list.

My name is Sia too. It means "first daughter" in the Kono language spoken by the Kono people of eastern Sierra Leone (my father's tribe). You may want to consider that when choosing the name.

[Antonia Blanche]

Sia is beautiful. Less common than Mia, but I doubt they'll be confused because M and S sound completely different.

[Mrs BB]

I used to be a nanny for a gorgeous little girl called 'Tia' - this is nice also

[JellyBean]

I like it- although perhaps it could be confused with 'see-ya'??
It looks nice written though.... I have Lia on my short list as an alternate spelling for Leah.
