Help[Opinions] Fiadh / Fia
It's from the Old Irish word Fiadh which means "wild", such as a wild animal. I've also see it specified as meaning a deer. Fiadh and Fia are both occasionally used as names, and have seen a tiny blip on the radar in the past few years in Ireland. I tend to prefer Fia for it's simplicity.
What do you think of the names Fiadh and Fia? Does Fia look like just another -ia name (Mia, Nia, Kia, etc.)? Is it too similar to Fiat to be taken seriously?
What combos would you suggest for Fia?
Thanks!

I like it. I tend to think female names that begin with an 'F' pack a little bit of punch, a little spunkiness. Fia is no exception.

I have to agree. It does have a bit of a spunkiness.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Yikes.
I know Fia is used a lot as a nickname. I could see how it would be perceived as childish. I've come to a point where it doesn't really bother me.
And wow. I'd have never know of the vulvular association with Fia. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I mean, Iona means vagina in Samoan. I still like the name though. Hm. It's definitely something to think about.

It's not a common childrens's word for vulva (the most common word used by children nowadays is probably snippa); I've never heard about girls called Fia being teased for their name. So being called Fia in Sweden is not like being called Fanny in England. Fia is a common nn. It's probably most commonly associated with this board game (called Fia in Swedish):

Ooh. Okay. I was thinking it a more common word. That's not bad then.
Thank you for clarifying!

It sounds like the world 'fear' in a non-rhotic accent.

That's true. I have a rhotic accent so sometimes I don't take non-rhotic accents into consideration.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Oh, I like both!

I like it. Yes, it looks like the other short -ia names, but it's not as boring as Mia ;) But it could also be a short form for Sophia / Sofia.
I didn't make the connection to Fiat, before you mentioned it, so I think, it's not a big problem.
Fia Celeste
Fia Gabrielle
Fia Lucille
Fia Madeleine
Fia Margaret
Fia Matilda
Fia Michelle

I was worried Fiat would be the first thing people think of. I'm glad that may not be true.
Great combos! Fia Margaret strikes a nice balance. Fia Celeste is sweet. It reminds me of Fia Estelle, one of my own Fia combos.
Thanks!
