Is it classic/chic/fun or more grandma-like? We have an Italian last name but from/live in Texas
Also, what longer names could be shortened to be “Gia”, just out of curiosity
I am Michalis Christou Kittos, 25 yrs old and I am a political candidate for Αμμόχωστος - Για την Κύπρο (Famagusta - For Cyprus). I am a Philosophy graduate and now I am a postgraduate researcher in Philosophy (again!). Have a quick glimpse at our manifesto (only in Greek for now, apologies. But you can AMA in english): https://famagustaforcyprus.org/manifesto/ .

I am having a boy. When I found out I was having a girl three years ago, we had a name picked out very quickly. Boys are harder. We have a few candidates to get your opinion on. We are thinking of the middle names Allan or William since they are family names. Last name is a common 3-syllable occupational surname (like Gardener, Cartwright, etc).
Rough criteria -Must work with sibling name Gia (I am partially Italian but we don’t need to stick with an Italian origin name) -Ideally would be one or two syllables or have a short nickname -Can’t end in a hard “C” (Derrick, Cedric) due to clashing with the last name -Probably shouldn’t end in “-er” due to clashing with the last name -Would like to avoid approximately the top 200 names (no Liam, no Jack, etc.)
Shortlist (middle names could be Allan or William but aren’t set in stone either):
Clyde Lloyd Bruce Gilbert Raymond (nn Ray) Everett Woodrow Wayne Clive Cyrus Cassius (cash-us) Bryce Conrad Preston Urban Pierce Darren Gene Antonio (nn Nio or Tony) Rudolph Wallace Adrian
Do any of these stick out as great sibling name for Gia? TIA!
I am expecting my second child (a girl!) in April, and while I’m confident with her first name (Gia) I am struggling with picking a middle name...
When I was pregnant my first child, I had the perfect names picked out. We had a boy, Maxwell Fox (Max) but if we had had a girl her name would’ve been Maria Rosalie (Mia, Mimi, Mitzi etc) or Magnolia Kate (“Maggie Cat”, Lola, Nola etc).
I’m thrilled to be having a girl this time, if for no other reason then that I don’t have any other boy names I love the way I love Maxwell Fox. I don’t want to use another “M” name, and love the simple elegance of Gia (and do not like Gianna/Giovanna/Georgina etc).
My husband is Italian and our last name is long and ends in -ella, which kinda sucks because so many girl names rhyme or otherwise have an awkward cadence.
I’ve ruled out dozens of middle name options for one reason or another (mostly bc of google results, ie the names are used together a lot- which I probably just need to get over...). I really like all the following options, but they feel overused with Gia specifically:
Gia Isabel Gia Simone Gia Giselle Gia Diane Gia Holliday (not overused, just a “not-a-name” name I like) Gia Rose/Rosalie Gia Camille Gia Celine Gia Estelle
Other ruled out options: Gia Sabine Gia Celeste Gia Marie Gia Grace Gia Poppy Gia Marguerite Gia Elise Gia Elizabeth Gia Noelle Gia Avril (hate Avril Lavigne)
Names I’m considering: Gia Annalise Gia Hazel Gia Naomi Gia Marisol Gia Beatrix Gia Olivia (Gia Olive in a google search brings up a brand of olive oil, boo)
Other names I love but could never use due to our last name, or just don’t go with Gia: Nadia Sabrina Ursula (considered the Italian “Orsola”, but vetoed by husband) Juliette Natalie Lucia Stella Lola/Lyla/Lara
As much as I love names, I’m tired of obsessing over Gia’s middle name-please help!
Clover Health Investments, Corp. (the “Company”) announced that Gia Lee, the Company’s General Counsel, will be stepping down as an officer of the Company today.
Not sure if anyone remembers this-but I am currently on season 4 of RHONJ. Gia has a meltdown because Joe Gorga was cheating (shocker that man can’t lose) and she gets upset because the other team wins.
Jacqueline and Caroline decide to try and calm Gia down. They do it in the most bizarre way. Basically shaming her, not comforting her, scolding her and aren’t listening to her. It made me SO mad!! And Jacqueline compared Gia to Ashley??? Girl bye. And then they shame Teresa for being a bad mom. Makes me so so mad!! Anyone remember this or have any thoughts?
(Also full disclosure I am team Teresa I think the girls are ganging up on her season)
It’s pronounced “Noel.”
On the latest Squirrel Talk podcast Karla Marx says that the edit was kind to Kimora bc apparently it was much worse than we saw and Gia went off on her infront of the judges. Kimora wanted to leave and not lipsync tho but production forced her to so we got the campiest lipsync to date.
Apologies if this has already been discussed but I really don’t understand what her motivations were and what she was gaining from calling Gia a liar.
IIRC, when it was brought up earlier, L and co said they were talking about it because Tribe had a stroke and can’t defend herself. Firstly, has it been verified that Tribe no longer has the cognitive ability to process and speak about this situation?? It seems like post-stroke she was still able to communicate on social media.
I believe they also said they wanted to defend Tribe because she might apply for a job and the Reddit comments saying she s*xually a**aulted Gia would cause her to loose the job. This may be ignorant but I’m what world is Tribe (whose stroke allegedly left them unable to speak up for themselves) applying for jobs with comprehensive background checks that entail reading comments on this sub?? What kind of job would deny her because of an unsubstantiated Reddit comment but otherwise be willing to overlook her criminal record, rapping on a sheet about STIs, and being an otherwise train wreck on ROLB??? Seriously, do such jobs exist?
I just don’t understand why Farrah thought publicly calling Gia a liar was a good look. Gia doesn’t feel comfortable about the way the shot was portrayed but doesn’t view it as “SA”. And that’s okay. She’s the one it happened to and the one who has to come to terms with it. Why wouldn’t she just let her be?
Thời buổi này nhiều người trẻ lập gia đình muộn, thậm chí một số thì không lập gia đình vì không có khả năng hoặc là thà sống độc thân suốt đời để không bị ai cản trở cuộc sống mình. Thế hệ trước như 6X và 7X (thậm chí 8X) đều coi trọng việc lập gia đình và khi nói ra bản thân còn độc thân thì họ tỏ ra ngạc nhiên và luôn thắc mắc sao bản thân vẫn còn độc thân, thậm chí một số còn vô duyên cứ gặp là hỏi "Chừng nào lấy vợ/chồng" và trách sao sống ích kỷ vậy? Nhưng khi nghĩ đến việc lập gia đình thấy nó phức tạp quá. Người thì ly hôn, người thì suốt ngày cãi vả với vợ/chồng mình rồi lâm ra cảnh ngoại tình, người thì không hợp với gia đình bên kia, vv. Nghĩ tới đây thì lựa chọn độc thân thấy nó hấp dẫn hơn khi mình không cần đối phó với vần đề của người khác.
Mọi người có ý kiến gì về topic này? Ai đã có gia đình rồi có thể chia sẻ trải nghiệm khi còn độc thân so với sau khi có già đình không? Nếu chưa có gia đình khi già thì đó có phải là một thất bại trong đời?
Đa tạ.
