Your favourite name ending in ia?

aforangie · December 14, 2010, 8:16pm

I know this is specific, but I have a thing about siblings not sharing the same end of name sound. I have a daughter who ends with a ri (re) sound, and we have a boys name picked out that ends in “an”… so now I’m trying to come up with a girls name, and like the “ia” sound…

Suggestions?
