Shia
What do you think of Shia? Do you prefer it on a boy or a girl? Do you pronounce it SHEE-ah or SHY-ah? Would you spell it Shia or Shiah? Have you ever met anyone with the name? Would you see it as trendy?

I secretly love it!I really like it for a boy, pron Shy-ah, like Shia LaBouf There's just something about it that is so appealing, not sure what though.

I like this name a lot, but only for a boy. I would pronounce it as SHY-ah. Shia and Shaya are the versions I like. Never met anyone with this name and wouldn't class it as trendy, no.

I actually really like this for a girl. (Shire could work as a MN for a boy though). I'd pronounce it SHY-ah, I don't know which way I'd spell it, I usually like "h"s on the ends of girls' names but I don't know... I've never met anyone with the name and I don't see it as trendy (but I see how others could). Shire is already on my list but I think I'll add this for girls, it's so nice. =)

SHEE-ah. Prefer it on a girl. I'd say Shia (SHEE-ah) on a girl, and Shiah (SHY-ah) on a boy.
I haven't met any. I don't think it's trendy, but it is unusual-ish. I think I prefer Shira or Shiara though.

I think it's okay. I would perfer it on a girl but the only person I heard of with the name is actor Shia Labeuf (I don't know how to spell the last name) I pronounce it SHY-ah and spell it Shia. It could be considered trendy.

I don't like it. No offence intended, but it reminds me of the Shia or Shi'te branch of Islam.
