Is Siya pronounced See-ah or Sigh-ah?

Which culture are you and the father from?
I don't know any children with either name, and I live in a very mixed, multicultural area.

Never heard of either name tbh and I wouldn't know how to pronounce Siya - sorry, not much help I know

Tisha is a bit sneezy but could be a nickname for Leticia.

Siya looks nice but I'm unsure of the pronounciation.

Tisha.

Siya reminds me of that singer who wears a wig over her face.

Never heard of either of these. I prefer Tisha; Siya sounds like "See-ya!" to me.

Tisha will be confused for Trisha here...

Thank you all for your views :) Actually I am an Indian but looking for a name which is to pronunce here in UK as well and sounds good.
What about Arshia as a name and Sia a nickname?

Thanks

I think Arshia is going to lead to arse-related teasing, OP.

Both awful.

Not Arshia. It would not be kind

What about Esha?

If you're not English people will usually be less judgemental about your name choices because foreigners aren't so easy to pigeonhole into the class system Wink.

I know an Esha and I think it's a lovely name.

Arshia definitely has 'arse' teasing potential. Sia by itself would be better.

OP, I like, Kaya, Kiki and my favourite, Priti.
There are some lovely Indian names, including Kate.

Siya is nice.

Stay far, far away from Arshia, unfortunate nicknames will happen.
