One of my best friends has a Pia. She is half-Korean-American, half French. Her name was inspired by another friend who is half-Swedish, half Chinese.

Not keen sorry.

In saying that there is a Nia in my Y1 class and that actually really suits her, and not very much different.

i know a girl called pia, she didnt get teased at all. think its pretty, p.s isnt short for anything and is a real name.

We have a 10 month old daughter named Pia.

We picked it as it was a beautiful name and not on the UK top 100. We still think it is very pretty but got very mixed responses from people - the pia-no thing and Brighton Pier being the most common. Although quite hurtful to begin with, these comments have now stopped...

She now really suits her name and we have grown to love it even more!

I say go-for-it!!!!

I like Pia

qumquat · 25/03/2009 03:10

Love Pia, I have two Swiss friends called Pia and think it's beautiful.

HA! This is going to sound really pathetic, but I did think of Monahan (Honest! First 3-syllable Irish surname that came to mind).

Good for you, Leanna! Am glad to see that the Little Englanders haven't prevailed, regardless of which name you choose in the end

well i have woken up today having an 'i like it' day.....its unusual, sweet sounding and seems to have a mixed following but at least no-one has said 'what??' or 'Never heard of it....'

it remains on the list....hopefully i will find a girls name that i LOVE LOVE LOVE in the way i have found a boys name....maybe it will grow on me....

Not keen.

Jenbot · 23/03/2009 18:04

Actually Rustybear, somewhat uselessly I can't remember.

abraid · 23/03/2009 16:09

I like it. The one Pia I knew was clever and sporty.

LavenderStar · 23/03/2009 16:08

I like it! It sounds exotic. I imagine she would be very pretty. Almost like a name like Farah or Saskia (which I only know about via Farah Fawcatt and that girl off BB/Eastenders). It sounds quite posh aswell (nothing wrong with that!!)

georgimama · 23/03/2009 15:31

I like it. Depends on your surname though.

Guadalupe · 23/03/2009 15:26

It's quite sweet. I would worry that it sounded like Pee-er though.
