Comment left Jul 11, 2008: "Beautiful, international name! Has lots of special meanings in languages including Russian, Hindi, Arabic. Lovely. There were 2 Nadias in my daughter's kindergarten class last year!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 06, 2008: "My name is Nadia and i think its brilliantttttttttttttttttttttttt. Everybody says it the arabic way of saying it which is the right way and i love my name" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 05, 2008: "We named our first born daughter Nadia. She was born with spina bifida, a birth defect. Her mother is American and her Papa is Russian. Nadia was named after her Babooshka although when we received the pre-natal diagnosis, we knew she needed a strong name. Yes, it means 'hope' but we've adapted this definition of the word hope- 'A strong and confident expectation.' Without a doubt, Nadia has been properly named and she loves it! We do pronounce it Nad-ya although people in the outside world say Nad DEE yah, which is fine as well." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jul 03, 2008: "My sisters name is nadia and it fits her perfectly becuase she's wild and outgoing. Our dad is arabic and me and my brother have arabic names too. She loves it and a lot of people love our names. My mom knew she would name her first daughter nadia." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jul 02, 2008: "my name is nadia itandehui flores i love my name it is uber unique every one should call their daughters nadia" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 29, 2008: "My name is Nadia too...I speak french and back home, my parents pronounce it as 'Nadzia'...I moved to South Africa and there they said it as 'Nardia'..I'm now in Australia and people say 'Naa-dya'... I don't know anymore how to introduce myself! I'm not fussed if people can't say it as my parents do...so I let them pick as long as it's not too far from what it should be. In french it is abbreviated as 'Nad' and in english as 'Nads'. My parents picked this name as they were looking for something both muslim and christian, which they each are. I'm agnostic and I don't care about religion.I hated my name when I was a kid, now I like it. NADIAs rock!! xxx" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jun 25, 2008: "my name is nadia :] but i spell it NadiJa and its pronounced nah-dee-ya i love my name. and i would never change it.;.. people also call me dijaa and it means hope i love it :]" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left May 15, 2008: "my name is nadia and I think it is very unique. It is of arabic/hebrew descent and it mean "hope"." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left May 11, 2008: "My name is Nadia and I almost always like it. It's annoying to have to spell it for people, or when people say it wrong. Sometimes people (especially at doctor's offices!) just see the "n" and say "Nadine" which is so annoying. I also hate when guys ask me if I'm like Nadia from American Pie or if I've been "naughty" Other than that, it's a great name. It's unique. I've only met one other person with it, but not too out of the ordinary that people would make fun of you for having a crazy name. I pronounce it "na DEE ah" but some of my Persian friends and family say "na dya" which is fine too. I guess I'm pretty Americainized." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Apr 02, 2008: "my name is Nadia, said Nardia, and most people say Na De Ah...i've grown accustomed to it now. i dont really like my name, as it is now synonymous with Nadia Allmanda from big brother 5 who was once a man. when i tell people my name they always say "what leik the one from big brother". it starts to loose its humour after the millionth time, but i guess its something to live with. i like the fact it means hope, as i like to think i bring hope to people's lives, or maybe just show them that they have a little more sanity than me lol. those who know me say that my name reflects my personality, wierd yet intriguing, i just hope that its all meant in a positive way, and i may be remember as Nadia from American Pie and not the man from Big Brother. =)" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Mar 14, 2008: "For the person who calls her daughter Dia for short. Dia in sanskrit are those tiny oil lamps that Indians use for decorations during festivities :)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 29, 2008: "I love this name... I just named my daughter Nadia and we call her Dia for short. I love that it has a beautiful meaning (Hope) and a cute nick name! That's hard to find." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 29, 2008: "My name's Nadia. I hate when people pronounce it Nad-Dee-a. It's Nad-ya! I would rather it was spelled Nadja or Nadya so people would get it right for once. I absolutely love my name. It is not Arabic. It's Russian and it means "Hope." I'm Slovak so I think my name is perfect." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 22, 2008: "My 8 week old little girl's name is Nadia Kathleen. Either people love it or hate it." (Report as inappropriate)
