Mia

[Fiore]

I really like the name Mia but just wondering if it's short for anything, in otherwords can any other name be shortened to Mia?

(also, what do you think?)xx

I know it can be short for Mia, but I also have a cousin named Maria who goes by Mia. But if you don't like either of those, I think it's cute by itself!

 

[pixydust]

i know a baby called Amelia who gets called Mia

 

[LoolaBear]

mia from the film the princess diaries full name is Amelia and her NN is Mia. if i were to think of Mia as a NN i would think of Amelia but Mia is also known as a Name in itself nowadays. xx

 

[Jussy]

I like Mia, but im biased because thats one of the names on my short list lol

 

[Faerie]

I love Mia but DH wouldn't have it as he's Italian

 

[Faerie]

p.s I think Ameila is such a pretty name it would almost be shame to shorten it, but that's just my opinion.

It is a beautiful name, I agree. But I love the idea of Mia atleast being our pet name for her

thanks everyone, when I get to my computer I will press the lote 'thankyou' button for you all! I've not done it yet purely because it takes forever on iPhone!

I love the name maria too but my friends daughter is called that so it's a no no. Any other suggestions and opinions more than welcome!!xx

[RubyRainbows]

[PleaseBaby]

I love the name Mia, so a big thumbs up from me

 

[rainbows_x]

Thumbs up

 

[KiansMummy]

I love it, it was one of the names we had decided on for a girl x

 

[ohmisslizzie]

Mia was our first pick for this baby but then saw the predictions for it to become popular- I love it but just did not want a name that was common!

 

[scottishgal89]

Think its short for Amelia but i just like Mia itself

 

[HarmonysMum]

Mia can be a name by itself or short for another.
I think mostly it's for Amelia or Amalia, but I also think it can work for Miranda and Matilda too. Basically any name that starts with M or has an 'ia' somewhere in it, I think it would work.

 

[Pretty Sakura]

Mia is very pretty. You can just use Mia you don't have to use Amelia or Maria. And there are lots of pretty middle names it can go with.

I like Mia so I say thumbs up! In my family we called my mom Mia and my dad Pia as nicknames growing up so I have a special connection to it. I will say I know of 4 Mia's born in the last year and a half though so definitely growing in popularity.
