David Henrie (Wizards of Waverly Place) and former Miss Delaware Maria Cahill welcomed Pia Philomena Francesca Henrie back in March. Per their Instagram post, Francesca is in honor of Pope Francis, who they asked to pray for them after Maria suffered several miscarriages.

I'm fond of eccentric, old-fashioned names, but Henrie's and Cahill's choice for their daughter seems too bizarre to me. I'd propose Frances Philomena as an alternative - still honouring Pope Francis while pairing a more conventional name with a very uncommon one (though, in my opinion, both Frances and Philomena are pretty).

Very pretty. The Pia part seems so short compared to the two longer middle names, though, but maybe that was their point.

Too long!

I'm not sure how to pronounce Pia. AS the feminine form of Pius, I feel it should be PIE-uh, but my instinct is PEE-uh.
Philomena always trips me up. It shares the same consonant sounds as the word 'phenomenal'. So I want to shorten all the vowels as well. It ends up like FILL - O (as in orange) - M - I (as in igloo) - N - A (as in apple)

Oh I love this! So baroque!

I like the middle name combo a lot! Pia sounds incomplete to me but it's not too bad.
Pia Henrie makes me think of a peahen though, which I have mixed feelings about.

It's quite a mouthful, but not really a bad combo. I would say Pia is in for a lot of pee jokes.
