Hello, we're having a little girl soon and me and DH are really stuck for names. We really like the name Kia but don't want to use it due to the obvious car association. Are there any names which are similar that anyone can think of please? Her sibling is Isaac 🙂

Kyra is nice. Kira is pretty too! Or Michaela (nn Kayla) all similar sounds.

Ria, Leah Mia and Tia, all rhyme too

Cleo is another option?

Let me clarify: Nia as in (Nee-uh) because I also wrote Niah (Ny-uh) and want to differentiate between the two.

Issac is a name with a long history, so I think it would be nice for her to have something similar rather than something just made up

Leah is a great match for Isaac
Thea
Kiera / Ciara
Cara
Katya
Lara
Leila
Ida
Astra
Aster
Zara
Aphra
Isla
Cassia
Chiara
Carina / Karina

Khia?

The association with this would be worse than the car one imo!

She’d never heard the end of ‘my neck, my back, lick my…’

I like Kaia and Kaya!

I'm a Kia. The car association isn't an actual thing. Very rare to be honest. What I hate is people shortening my name to 'Key' or referring to Ikea.

Kaya/Kaia

I worked in a school and there was a girl called Kia... I didn't associate it with the car at all, it was just her name!

I had a Kia in my tutor group throughout her time at secondary. I don’t think she ever got any car comments.

Hi 👋@curlymam

My daughter name is Kaiya

It has quite interesting meanings behind it

Including Bob Marley song connection too

I know a Kailani (Ky'lahni). Which I think is beautiful, it's Hawaiian. The little girl I know has Hawaiian ancestry, not sure how you'd feel about using it if you have no link.
