Re: Mia
in reply to a message by Julia
My husband feels the same way about Mia, yet I still love the name. I'm not sure why I like it so much.

I like Mia, too.

Me too. I get a sleek, warm impression. Cat-y but not just a name for a cat.
I know a kid named a hyphenated name with Mia as the second one. I'm not going to post it because it's pretty unique and I feel weird about posting an acquaintance's super-unique name. Anyway it's along the lines of Kira-Mia or Sera-Mia. I like it ... the name is rescued from being "My" and becomes "My [other name]" and I think that is cool. Even though to me, it doesn't matter that it means "my" in the first place, it just sounds like a nick for Maria.

I know a person with that form of name! But it has the opposite effect for me. Every time I say her name I feel like I'm saying "My [name]." So silly. I remember in Spanish class one of my friends was explaining that he was hanging out with this person who we shall call Annamia because that is not her name :) and the spanish teacher was like (in spanish) "Ah yes you were hanging out with your Anna. How sweet." and a very confused exchange resulted

That's weird, I also get a cat-like impression of Mia. I wouldn't have described it exactly like that, but that's a good way of putting it. It sounds more sophisticated to me than I think it does to a lot of people, here.
