Re: Celeb BA
in reply to a message by Ruta
I'm wondering why Gia is getting used so much lately. I think some other celebs used it as well in the past couple of years. I know it was never common but it seems slightly dated to me, as if it doesn't belong into this time period. I guess people like it because it is similar to Mia and Leah but it seems so very different from those two. I find it kind of 70s/80s and it reminds me more of names like Gina, Tina and Dana. Not that it is bad, it is kind of cool for people born in that period but now seems out of place/fashion.Tiana is okay. It's really bland even though it isn't common. Tiana Gia doesn't flow that well and it seems too light and insubstantial. Gia and Tiana need to be paired with more classic names to give them more substance.I actually like Jasmine a lot but I feel that it got a bad image due to overuse and variants Jazzmyn etc. Lia is okay. Jasmine seems a bit 90s.I really dislike Alexandra but Simone is fine.Overall the names are fine but the only one I really like is Jasmine and I wouldn't use it.

Gianna / Giovanna / Giovanni have mainly gone up in the charts in the US over the last 15-20 years. Maybe that's a factor.

Good point... I personally think of Gia as a more 2000's/2010's name, maybe because it's similar to Mia and Gianna.
