Nia for a girl?

[Pumpkincandle]

Thoughts on Nia?
Do you like it?

[userxx]

Yes, I know one.

[Moominfan]

Lovely

[CalmFizz]

Are you welsh/in wales? I think it’s perfectly fine when it’s pronounced properly.

[KitchenDancefloor]

The one I know is great so a nice association. A proper name, recognisable but not over popular 👍🏻

[Pumpkincandle]

Thanks for the feedback :)

We're both Welsh but live in England x

[LikeTheFruit]

Love it. I know one and she is the kindest most lovely person you could hope to meet

[Namechangenecessity]

It’s lovely

[NoSquirrels]

I love it. Be prepared for a lot of ‘Mia’ confusion though, living outside Wales.

[Wacawaca19]

Thomas the Tsbi Engine character.

[PandasMum]

Don’t love it but it’s ok

[MikeUniformMike]

Perfect. Old Welsh name. The Welsh version of the Irish Niamh.
It will get confused with Mia and people will say it the same as Near.

[WaitrosePigeon]

Sounds like someone a bit rough saying ‘I’m guna knee er’ in the face!’

[BethanyGilbert]

Is it neee ah or nyyyy ah?

[MikeUniformMike]

@BethanyGilbert
NEE-ah
The a is like the a in cat, hat etc not an -uh sound,

[Enko]

Beautiful

[Pumpkincandle]

Great thanks for the positive feedback x

I love Nia - I really wanted it but I had a Thea first so couldn’t use it for my second!

[diddlediddle]

I know a Niah. Nia is ok.

I find it a bit tedious as a name because it's so similar to a million other names like Mia, Mya, Mila, Nara, Lia, Aria, May, Amara, Ayla, Lena... I don't know, people just seem to pick a consonant and add a couple of vowels and get a pretty sounding girls name. I doesn't have any gravity or identity to it IMO. Having said that there's nothing offensive about it.

[Powderperfume]

diddlediddle you do realise it has a lot of gravity in Welsh heritage? It's not a made up name

[GreigLaidlawsbarofsoap]

Love it! Good associations for me too but also think it's very pretty.

[diddlediddle]

@Powderperfume I know it is a welsh name and not made up. I'm not aware of the level of its importance but I'm only sharing an opinion. If it is meaningful to the OP then that's great and I don't dislike it. I didn't say it was horrible. I'm just saying that to many people it will get lost in a sea of similar names.

[NellWilsonsWhiteHair]

It’s lovely!

[NoSquirrels]

I know a Niah. Nia is ok.

Nia is the original Celtic name from which the English variant Niah is derived!

[diddlediddle]

Yes I actually do much prefer Nia. I find Niah a bit affected.

[NoSauce]

I don’t like it at all.
