Kia

Kia can be used as a nickname for almost any name that begins with K (or even a hard C) and ends in A, such as Kristina, or Kiara. It has been used in the U.S. as a name in its own right very occasionally, but has never been really popular. Kia is, nonetheless, a good name for a pet, or for a fictional fantasy or RPG character, and has the added advantage of being quick and easy to type. Kia's popularity for baby girls will most likely suffer because of the association with car manufacturer Kia Motors.
