First Impressions
AI-WrittenThe name reads as decisively adolescent. A Mia tends to be pictured carrying a stainless-steel water bottle covered in vinyl stickers and running late for soccer practice. With over ninety percent of living bearers split between Generation Z and Generation Alpha, the name carries no cultural memory of landline telephones. The average bearer is fifteen, meaning her childhood was documented entirely in high definition.
