Girls names ending in EE-ah?!

I'm trying to think of girls names with a similar sound to Lucia, Mia, Sophia.

I should say I'm keen the emphasis is on the EE-ah sound at the end - i.e. not names like Amelia, Olivia, where the emphasis is on other parts of the name? If that makes sense!

Essentially Loos-EE-ah and Sof-EE-ah,
rather than Ah-meal-ya and Oh-liv-ya, as I love those too but can't handle them in my local accent!

Any suggestions?

How about Fiadh, which is an Irish name, pronounce FEE-ah.

I’d argue that a lot of these names could be pronounced ee-ah or yah depending on where you are and how other people have heard the name previously.

I’d always pronounce Olivia and Amelia with the ee- a sound. But our family say Lydia with a yah sound at the end.

And Lucia is not Loo-see-ah. It’s Loo-chee-ah.

My daughter is Lucia but it's pronounced, "Loo-see-ah". My family is Mexican and it is pronounced that way in Spanish.

"Loo-chee-ah" is an Italian pronunciation.
