Sia
If someone named their daughter Sia, would you think they were a big fan of the singer/songwriter? "And by the way, dearie, your punctuation sucks canal water!"

Yep the name is very much associated with the singer

No, not necessarily. I don't mind the name, but not a fan of the singer.

Not necessarily. I think it's a lovely name and I'm not super familiar with Sia's music.

I do not know of the singer-songwriter, but how about Sia Tamara? Please let me know if not. Sorry - I could not help myself.

LOLgood one! ;)

Wouldn't want to be yaNope because I live under a rock and don't know who she is, although it does sort of ring a vague bell. I'd just wonder what it was short for.

Ever hear "Chandelier"? That's her. She's also written a lot of songs for other artists, like "Diamonds" for Rihanna and "Perfume" for Britney Spears.She's released her own albums and performs on occasion, but she doesn't like the limelight and hides herself like this...I enjoy her music, but I realize she might not be everyone's taste.

So THAT'S why I never see her face!!! lolTo answer your question, I think people would use it even if they weren't Sia fans, because you don't hear that name very often.

I just choked on my coffee. That's some stylin'!

Or she stands with her face to a corner.

WTF. :) Has she been naughty?

Don't you know she swung from the chandelier one to many times and broke it? lol

Not necessarily, but I'd definitely wonder if that were the case.

"See ya"I'd assume it until I knew otherwise. Why else would anyone use such a blah name.

Probably. But I've seen it once here in Sweden on an old lady and I think it is and has been used as a nn for names like Sofia, Cecilia, etc.
Sia is also an old Swedish verb meaning "to divinate".
I don't really care for it. Nor for the singer-songwriter.

No, I'd just assume they heard it from her first. It's pretty...what's not to like? (But, then again, I like -ia names).

No.
Mostly because she is not Cher-level famous. Even though Sia is an unusual name, it's not enough to make me immediately think of the singer. In fact, I didn't think of the singer until I saw Luccca's post title.

As of now, yes. But sometimes a celebrity brings a name to attention of the public. The first people who use it do so because they are fans, but if it then catches on in a bigger way, subsequent users are not necessarily fans, they just like the name. Gary Cooper brought Gary to the attention of the public, but it became so popular that certainly not everyone was even thinking of Gary Cooper when they used it. So if Sia actually becomes popular, I certainly won't assume that all parents using it are big Sia fans.
