Is Mia too popular?

I’ve started hearing it everywhere. Is everyone calling their daughters Mia in 2019?

Mia has been popular for years, thought it was less so now though

MissHenty · 13/10/2019 21:28

Every year since 2012 the number of Mia’s has declined. It’s on a downward trajectory so don’t worry if you’re wanting to use it, it’s not exploding in popularity, quite the opposite!

I've not met any little Mias recently but there are several in DS's high school - I think it was probably more popular a while ago?

DariaMorgendorffer · 13/10/2019 21:32

Think it was more popular a few years ago. If you like it, why not!

I’m a teacher in a single-form-entry primary. We have a Mia in 4 out of 7 of the classes.

It’s pretty popular. I’m in London and know 3 Mia’s/Maya’s under the age of 8.

megletthesecond · 14/10/2019 06:44

Not really. It's pretty but was popular a few years ago.

Grumpymcgrumperson · 14/10/2019 08:15

Yes. So overdone. It’s totally ruined the name imo

Lavenderblues · 14/10/2019 08:17

Yes, has been overused for a while
Seems to be slowly falling out of fashion

MissHenty · 14/10/2019 08:43

Look at the official data @Sugarplummy84 if you’re interested. Less and less Mia’s every year for the past 7 years . I say go for it

BethanyGilbert · 14/10/2019 13:52

I know four mias under 7

daisypond · 14/10/2019 13:55

I know a few in their mid 20s but no younger ones.

MissHenty · 14/10/2019 15:02

I only know of one Mia- friend of a friend. I have 2 kids under 4 both at nursery and playgroups etc

CharitySchmarity · 14/10/2019 16:13

Most of the Mias I know are aged between about 10 and 15 (the only one who isn't is a cat!)

angelaEhen · 14/10/2019 16:41

I alway thought it a lovely name and I don't know any, but I was told M I A stands for missing in action and that has put me off a bit

VenusClapTrap · 14/10/2019 18:31

I think Pulp Fiction caused an explosion of Mias. But that was years ago now. I only know one, and she is five.

MeMeMeYou · 14/10/2019 18:37

I’m a teacher. There were quite a few when my daughters was born, she’s 11 now. Not so many now at school. Although she went to a sports club and there were 4 out of group of 30 kids

honeybunlatte · 14/10/2019 18:52

There was 2490 Mia's born last year. It's number 6 in the ONS charts. Not to mention all the other spelling variations. So yes I would say it is very popular.
