Names that could be shortened to Sia

[Gaffoolery]

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 :)

Marissia

Hortensia

Florencia

Just use Sia. It doesn't sound like a nickname to me.

Sofia?

Valencia
Lucia

I love that someone ^^ suggests a name the OP has already suggested herself.

And written off.

In her actual OP.

As mentioned by previous posters, Lucia - and Luciano - are pronounced with an 's' sound in Spanish.

Just call her Sia. It’s fine as it is.

Lucia ain’t popular where I’m from. I’d use it, it’s lovely.

Thanks everyone, great suggestions, now just to agree on one!

Lucia is pronounced Lu-chee-ah

How about Sienna? Then the nicknem would be Sia, dripping the “en” part of the name.

Nickname^

Boudicca?

Alissia

Gracia, Saskia, Theresia

Hi OP, Sia is lovely on its own. I'm also heavily in favour of putting on birth cert the name you will actually call them from born, rather than leaning towards a longer, more formal name for the sake of it. Have seen a lot more given names as: Charlie (not Charles), Libby (not Elizabeth) etc.

Go for it!

goodbye "see ya" sia

Lucia is pronounced Lu-chee-ah

Have you read the thread @Mumma4262 ?

In Spain it's pronounced Lu-sia

@MerchantOfVenom

Didn’t know the Spanish version. No need to be sarky!

It's been mentioned several times on a pretty short thread, so...

^ oh get a grip!

I know a couple that are spelt Siya
