My name is Pia and as far as I'm concerned, Pie-ah is the correct pronunciation. That is my given name and I love it and outside of a small amount of teasing in grade school, I always get a favorable response to it. The nastiest comments I've ever seen about my name are on this thread. By other Pia's claiming the PEE way is "the correct pronunciation." Oh please. You don't own the name. You own your pronunciation as Pee-ah, and that's fine. You should be called what you want without judgment. But my name is Pia, as Pie-ah. Please respect mine, as I respect yours. The world is big enough for us both to exist.
It is pronounced PEE-a. Yes, I know that's sounds odd, but what else could it be said as? PIE-a? Anyways, you can listen to the proununciation here: http://www.nordicnames.de/audio/Madchen/Pia.mp3.
