What are your thoughts on the name Nia?
Is it considered dated?
DH is from Wales, now living near London. Thanks for your views!

Nia and far, wherever you are. I believe that the heart does go on

Beautiful. Is it Nee-uh?

It’s like calling someone the word near. Fun when you teach a class full of girls called Mia, Nia and Tia!

I like it. Less common than Mia and just a bit unusual.

I know dozens of them, mostly my age. It's a nice name, and is the Welsh equivalent of Niamh.

Pronunciation is NEE-ah (like Mia but with an N not M).

Never met anyone called Nia, I don't think it sounds dated at all. It sounds really pretty!

Ambiguity in pronunciation: knee a or nigh a.
She will get fed up.of correcting people

Love it! I know a couple of Nias and they are both lovely people. They're both in their 40s so it may well be a bit dated.
