Pia.....yes or no?

[Leannabanana]

is this a nice name for a little girl?

Not IMO.

No - not really a proper name and sounds too much like 'pee' and will invite far too much ridicule when she's at school.

As in Pia Zadora? I don't like, as Nancy said, Pia would be endlessly teased at school for being a pee-er.

No

Sorry, but you did ask

i went to school with one, she was lovely, we never made fun of her name

I went to school with one too, unfortunately it was a welsh sea side town- so we also had a pier of the other type too .

Not really my cuppa. I think -ia names are on the way out - they'll date. Lots of Tias Mias Sophias etc around at the mo.

no.

ha suwoo, we pronounced it pie ya though

I quite like it.

I like Pia.

If it's not a "proper" name what is it short for?

Sweet actually. Didn't think I'd like it but after saying it a few times in my head I rather like it.

No.....really no

Pia lot lol MMJ...

Oh really SEA? I wonder how the OP plans to pronounce it? It seems most on here have taken it as pee-ya.

Nice if you're Swedish.

I like it, its Italian originally but quite common in Germany too. Means pious or honorable.

Perfectly acceptable - like Mia.

sorry but no, my first thought was the pia pia piano piano piano song

Pia is very sweet but seems like a missed opportunity for a "proper" name. Maybe short for Patricia? (First that came to mind, is this an awful choice? I like it.)

Sounds awful to me - sorry!

I thought PIA was Pie - ah

like mia - my - ah

if so I like

not pee - ah tho

Mia is pronounced me - ah isnt it

Mya is pronounced my - ah ?

Don't like Pia but Nia,Mia and Tia are ok

German isn't it. I've known two and I like the name.
