Personal experiences with the name Pia: | Edit

My little sister (17yr old) is called Pia, she is the only one in our town and for a long time in our county. She loves that her name is rare. She has grown up from a cute adorable child, who was wise beyond her years, to a gorgeous teenager, who is popular, funny and talented.

She is headstrong, determined and at times very irritating but loving, caring and empathetic. No doubt she will have her wildchild days soon - but she is sensible and grown up also and musically talented.
