Mia - nickname or stand alone?

ssisland · December 2010

Do you consider Mia a nickname only? If you think nickname, what are some full name suggestions?

Thanks!

I consider it a full name...and a very lovely one! It would have been on our name list if our cat wasn't named Mia already (side note, mia is how Portuguese people say how a cat meows....and thats why I named her Mia)

Its a nice stand alone name

I'm obliged to think of it as a NN since I've been using it as a NN since I was 13 for my best friend but in recent years, it has very quickly become a popular stand alone name. Though, I speak Italian and Mia means my/mine in Italian...

Full name suggestions: Maria

Love the name Mia! It can be a stand alone name or a nickname. It's a strong name to me though

In Spanish it also means my/mine. I like it as a nn, a full name could be Maria.

I like Mia as a stand alone name.

I think it's a full name but if you want it as a nn I have seen it used with Amelia.

It can be fine as a stand-alone name, and is actually currently in the top 10 as such(ranked #10 for girls in 2009), but also works well as a nn for Amelia, Maria, etc, as PPs have noted.
