What do you think to the name Neea?

Husband quite likes it for a girl, I've not come across it before.
I like it too.

I like Nia. It reminds me of Nia Vardalos (from My Big Fat Greek Wedding).

Neea looks odd to me.

Nia is nice not so keen on Neea spelling

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 11/07/2022 06:40

Don't spell it like that, it looks awful.

Is Nia pronounced as Nee Ah ?

Yes
Same as Tia, Mia etc

Neea is a girls' name in Finnish, and it's pronounced NEH-yuh or NAY-yuh. It's also spelled as Nea, which looks a little more familiar to English speakers, so I'd probably use Nea instead unless you're Finnish or naming after someone with the name. Nia is usually NEE-yah. There's also a name Nyah, pronounced like NIGH-uh, no idea the origins.

Absolutely ridiculous name….like really bad🙄

ChagSameachDoreen · 09/07/2022 23:16

Sounds like a race car zipping past.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 09/07/2022 14:06

Nia, obviously. Neea looks ridiculous.

KirstenBlest · 09/07/2022 14:04

It's nice if you are welsh, although it was very popular in the 1960s and 1970s so might seem a bit of a Mum name

It disappears into all the Mia, Leah, Nina type names

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/07/2022 14:00

I think it’s spelt Nia

It’s nothing-y to me, like Mia, Nina, Mila, blablah

KirstenBlest · 09/07/2022 13:53

Nia is like Nina without the second n. Nee-ah not Nee-uh

sleepyhoglet · 09/07/2022 13:03

No. What about Nyla?

DontLikeCoffee · 09/07/2022 12:49

Neea just looks like you can’t spell Nia. It’s a nice welsh name though.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 09/07/2022 12:37

Nia is a Welsh name.
I'd use that spelling

FolornLawn · 09/07/2022 12:34

I know a Neha, pronounced the same.

astersugar · 09/07/2022 12:29

Nia is a lovely name. Never seen this spelling before.

MollyRover · 09/07/2022 12:00

EnterACloud · 09/07/2022 11:22

Isn’t it Nia?

Neea makes it look like a typo for near or the sound of a motorbike going past IMO

Exactly what I thought

Krakinou · 09/07/2022 11:58

Made me think of a horse. Definitely spell it Nia. If you are going for the “nay-a” pronunciation, then I’d spell it Neya or Naya.

godmum56 · 09/07/2022 11:33

sounds like a the doppler effect when a fast car goes past

ColmanFlamingo · 09/07/2022 11:32

Nia - good Welsh name.

Is Nia pronounced as Nee Ah ?

Yes

fudfootedfannybangle · 09/07/2022 11:30

The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance?

Frazzled2207 · 09/07/2022 11:28

Yes

Fivebeanchilli · 09/07/2022 11:24

Nia is nice enough.
Neea looks ridiculous (and as though it ought to be some acronym for something in the North East).
