What does everyone think of the name Mia?
My fiance loves the name Mirah and I don't so I'm trying to think of a name that's sort of similar to that while being different enough for me to like. Mirah seems like an old lady name to me and also makes me think "Mirror Mirror on the wall..."

(we're not pregnant or TTC we just like to talk about baby names)

I like Mia. it's short and sweet so it's kinda timeless to me. I can see it being a fitting name for almost any generation as well as for any age on the person bearing the name!

that's what I think. When I think of Mia on a baby I think "aw how cute" but then I can imagine woman with the name too, probably because of Mia Farrow.

I think the name is growing in popularity, and is quite a popular name at the moment.

Australian actress Bec Cartright (who married Aussie tennis player Leyton Hewitt) named her daughter Mia, who was born abotu 12 months ago.

My bosses oldest daughter (9) is also named Mia.

I've never met a Mia but I wouldn't be surprised if it is or is about to be popular since every name I like ends up getting really popular (Elijah for example).
In fact I just checked the social security website and Mia was 17th in 2005 whereas Mira was 914th (Mirah isn't in the top 1000 spelled with an H) so I guess that's a point in favour of Mirah.
