    I like it.  We named our daughter Nina and if I type it too fast, I get Nia.  :-)  I was thinking that it's a pretty name!

    I like Nia.  I like most of the -ia names (Mia, Pia, Lia, Tia, etc.)

    This is funny because I had never heard of this name until last night when DH brought it up.

    I think it is pretty and has a wonderful meaning-but NMS. It is almost....I don't want to say "ethnic" sounding but it is the best word I can think of to describe it 'ethnic'. (and by ethnic I don't mean any one particular ethnicity)

    DH really loved the meaning of the name but I just couldn't get on board. But I do think it would be a great name for the right family!

    I know what you mean, I associate it with people of color as well.  Probably because I automatically think of Nia Long.

    I love it! I am a fan of the short different names... I am considering Gia if I have a girl. :)

    It's cute.  I would never use it, nms, but I don't have negative to say about.

    Hmm, I'm not so sure. I don't really care for the sound of it, and it will get mistaken for Mia a lot.

    It was the name of my ESL co-teacher.  I don't really care for it.

    ETA:  The Nia I know is white.  Just wanted to add that since a couple of people said it sounded "ethnic."
