Short List: Girl Names Ending In -ia

Lotsa times in Roman times, the children would be named after the father. For boys this meant duplication, and for girls it often meant changing the '-us' to '-a' in Claudius to Claudia, Julius to Julia, Flavius to Flavia, etc. I know this because of Rotten Romans by Terry Deary. This playlist is somewhat related to that fact.

1. Antonia - Motion City Soundtrack

2. Cecilia - Simon and Garfunkel

3. Cynthia - Millionyoung

4. Daria - Cake

5. Eugenia - Scott Joplin

6. Gloria - Van Morrison

7. O Valencia! - The Decemberists

8. Victoria - Jukebox the Ghost

9. Dancing Virginia - Jump, Little Children

10. I'm Coming Virginia - Artie Shaw
