What do you think of the name

Giada?

I think it's nice if you're Italian and have an Italian last name. Otherwise, it seems too trendy, like you're a big Giada DeLaurentiis fan.

I strongly dislike all the Gia/Giana/Giada names. I know an obnoxious little girl named Giada, nickname Gia and she has forever poisoned the name for me.

Not a fan and I think you would run into difficulties with pronunciation.

What about just Gia? Or Giuliana, Gianna, Giovanna?

I fail to see how THAT is easier to pronounce than Giada...which I do not like anyhow, but the above bold italicized name reminds me of goo-lash for some reason....

I kinda like it, but I think only if you have an Italian last name to go with it

I like it. I'm not thrilled about it, but I like it enough.

I think it's very pretty. I love Italian names, and I think it's one of the few that works whether your daughter is Italian or not.

Nothing wrong with that ... I love her!

OP: I would never personally use it, but I do think it is a really pretty name!

This.

NMS, but okay if you're Italian. I think it'd be kind of strange on a non-Italian person though.

I watch the food network and love Giada so it has a positive correlation for me. I wouldn't use it but I think it's cute.

It's just okay.  I also think it would get mispronounced a lot.

Giada reminds me of the intestinal disease Giardia. I think it's terrible.

 Giuliana is also pretty bad. If you're Italian, great, but otherwise, what's wrong with Juliana?

All these people naming their daughters Gianna and Giada are also doing it wrong. They are 9 times of 10 *not* pronouncing it as an Italian would

Giada = Jah-dah (Not Gee-ah-dah)

Gianna = Jah-nah (not Gee-ah-nah)

Giovanna = Jo-vahn-ah (Not Gee-oh-vah-nah)

So it comes off as just being a you-neek spelling, because most americans don't even pronounce it correctly.

What she said.  How about Gia - I love that!
