Is Siya pronounced See-ah or Sigh-ah?

AnyTheWiser · 15/09/2016 21:16

Which culture are you and the father from?
I don't know any children with either name, and I live in a very mixed, multicultural area.

DanyellasDonkey · 15/09/2016 21:23

Never heard of either name tbh and I wouldn't know how to pronounce Siya - sorry, not much help I know

Tisha is a bit sneezy but could be a nickname for Leticia.

Siya looks nice but I'm unsure of the pronounciation.

MitzyLeFrouf · 16/09/2016 10:24

Tisha.

Siya reminds me of that singer who wears a wig over her face.

bumblemouse · 16/09/2016 10:27

I know a Sia and it's a lovely name

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 16/09/2016 11:11

Tisha.

EssentialHummus · 16/09/2016 11:13

Never heard of either of these. I prefer Tisha; Siya sounds like "See-ya!" to me.

ShiroiKoibito · 16/09/2016 13:43

siya - See ya

Tisha will be confused for Trisha here...

boy or girl?

ShiroiKoibito · 16/09/2016 13:44

(sorry - by here i mean in UK)

archi19 · 16/09/2016 14:06

Thank you all for your views :) Actually I am an Indian but looking for a name which is to pronunce here in UK as well and sounds good.
What about Arshia as a name and Sia a nickname?

Thanks

I think Arshia is going to lead to arse-related teasing, OP.

WaitrosePigeon · 16/09/2016 14:42

Both awful.

Solasum · 16/09/2016 14:42

Not Arshia. It would not be kind

W8woman · 16/09/2016 14:46

What about Esha?

If you're not English people will usually be less judgemental about your name choices because foreigners aren't so easy to pigeonhole into the class system Wink.

CommanderShepard · 16/09/2016 14:49

I know an Esha and I think it's a lovely name.

MitzyLeFrouf · 16/09/2016 14:58

Arshia definitely has 'arse' teasing potential. Sia by itself would be better.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 16/09/2016 17:32

OP, I like, Kaya, Kiki and my favourite, Priti.
There are some lovely Indian names, including Kate.

Alisvolatpropiis · 16/09/2016 18:25

Siya is nice.

Stay far, far away from Arshia, unfortunate nicknames will happen.
