[Opinions] Mea
I came across this name on FB today. I don't like Mia when it's spelt properly, but seeing it spelt this way, is utterly ridiculous. Is it a spelling from another culture?

Ditto with the mea culpa thing. I suppose it could be short for Timea or Salomea, and it is better than Mya(aaaaa).

mea culpa!I think it's from the culture of Kreaytivitee. It beats Meeyah, though (I saw that a few days ago).

I once saw a BA for a Meah-Sharn (supposed to be Mia-Sian). I have seen Mea a couple of times. I would assume parents just don't know how to spell Mia.

Exactly what I thought. I'm sure it's just kre8iv, but certainly not as kre8iv as Meeyah. Mea doesn't look ridiculous to me, just incomplete. I'd also pronounce it MAY-uh, not like Mia, if that's what it was intended to be a form of. As far as "creative" spellings could go, I'd say this is pretty tame.

I don't like it at all. However, it's better than Miea, which I saw today.

LOL, I have no idea. I immediately thought of mea culpa.

Mea is used here in Sweden, but it's not that common. Mia and Mea are two totalt different names and I have to say that I far prefer Mea. Mea is rather nicknamey though.
