Names that could be shortened to Sia

49 replies

We love the name Sia, but i feel lits more of a nickname than standalone name, not to mention baby's last name also starts with an S. I thought about Lucia (Loo-See-A), but it's very popular, and we like names that are easy to pronouce etc... but a little off the beaten path.

baby's sister is Nieve, although popular in Ireland, fairly unheard of where we're from.

Anyone have any suggestions that could be shortened to Sia?

Thanks :)

Marcia?

FairfaxAikman · 09/12/2019 03:23

Lucia is pronounced Loo-chee-a is it not? It's Italian.

Sis the singer is just Sia, what puts you off using that as the full name?

Oh some great suggestions, I hadn't thought of. :)

@FairfaxAikman yes, that’s the original Italian pronunciation.

I love Cassia, Acacia, Valencia and Elyssia, will see what SO says. :)

Alexia shortened to Xia. I knew one and she was always known as ‘Xia’ pronounced ‘Sia’.

I have a Cassia. We shorten to Cass as I hadn't thought of Sia...I like!
