Girls' names ending in "ia"

Writing my long/short list I seem to be drawn to this ending for girls' names but for whatever reason haven't hit on the perfect one (dh is vetoeing almost everything). Might I have overlooked any?

I quite like:
Sophia (but it's dd's middle name)
Katia (totally love but dh doesn't)
Alicia (I really like but dh hates)
Olivia (Taken in family and also a bit posh)
Sylvia (Bit dated?)
Julia (Also a bit dated?)
Aria (Bit made up)

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

I worked with a Dia, very sweet. No idea what it means.

glittertits · 01/05/2015 18:57

Felicia?

stormyboots · 01/05/2015 19:04

Olivia posh???

What about Lucia, very pretty name

newcamper · 01/05/2015 19:14

Amaia

longestlurkerever · 01/05/2015 19:33

Ok maybe posh was wrong. Staunchly middle class is what I meant. It tops the Boden-clad girls' names thread on here a while ago. Most of my preferred names are a bit like that though!

I do really like Lucia (though it would alliterate with our surname). Would it generally be pronounced Lu-see-a or Lu-chee-a? I come across it more frequently as an Italian name.

I like Lydia, it is timeless and classless.

Allthatnonsense · 01/05/2015 20:24

As in it can used by any class.

manicinsomniac · 04/05/2015 12:51

I taught a Fabia once

Quietattheback · 04/05/2015 12:54

Safia.

ch1134 · 04/05/2015 21:30

Mia, Tia, Leah, Nia, Olivia, Lydia, Rhia, Amelia, Celia, Cynthia, Saskia, Delia, Ophelia

spring to mind. There must be hundreds.

Jamelia

Mia
Ria (in DD's gymnastics class)
Flavia

MargoReadbetter · 04/05/2015 21:38

I have a Sylvia and I don't think it's dated and she's most certainly not bothered (she's 10 now so would be aware/self-conscious).

Keranos · 04/05/2015 21:44

My daughter is Ophelia and we are always complimented on it

Viviennemary · 04/05/2015 21:47

Sylvia is well overdue a comeback. I like Cordelia but it's a bit of a mouthful so not sure if I'd use it myself.

Anotheronesoon · 04/05/2015 22:05

Claudia
Julia
Gia - love this I know a little girl with this name and think it's lovely.
Georgia

unlucky83 · 04/05/2015 22:19

Olivia posh? Shock Have never really thought about it but really not sure about that...
I know 2 - one does have 'aspirational' parents -think almost Hyancith Bucket.
The other ...hmmm has a siblings with names like Britney and Dwayne...I'll say no more...

Hummingbird15 · 05/05/2015 15:24

My niece is Lilia which I think is really pretty and quite original.
