Sia / Zia?

[MissJacksonIfYourNasty]

What do you think about each of these names?

Pronounced See-ah and Zee-ah

Sorry they sound "made up"

Zia is Italian for Auntie

....and Sia is Italian for "either" (as in either....or (sia...sia)

Don't be sorry, they're not names for my baby (I'm not even pregnant), but names I have recently heard.

Sia is not made up, it's Greek, apparently.

Just wondered where Zia was from and whether anyone had heard it before. I thought it was rather sweet. The girl in question is Israeli. May be a NN for something, actually.

I used to work with a Zia. Full name was Sinobia. She was from South Africa, IIRC.

Zia is an Islamic boy's name (as in Zia ul-Haq, former military dictator of Pakistan).

Sia I've never heard, but it sounds a bit snakey. SSSsss....

i like sia.i would say it See-Ah

reminds me of sia furler singer

My friend has a little girl called Sia - her heritage is African and it means "first born girl". I think it's a beautiful name.

I knew a girl called Sia pn See-Ah, she was lovely

I know a baby Zia - I think it's lovely.

I know a Zia, but she pronounces it Ziya.

Lovely name.

One of the female band members in the band "The Dandy Warhols" is called Zia so I always consider it quite cool!

Sia was on our girl shortlist. It wasn't in the baby name book so I assumed I'd made it up, although there was a singer a few years ago called Sia.

I think actually it's a shortened form of Anastasia.

I like it though

Zia reminds me of that buggy, the Petite Star Zia.

There are loads of Sia's in Samoa, so I associate it with gorgeous Polynesian women! Don't know what it means in Samoan though.

Anastasia is a gorgeous name.

zia was in this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Cities_of_Gold

I was about to post that livviloo - great minds and all that. I'm not terribly keen on either. I like beanlet's suggestion of Anastasia.

i know an African Sia and an Indian Sia. I don't know any Zia's but I think the names overlap many different cultures.

Auntie...
