I don't want i to pronounce it mia though. Prefer Maya, and I know a couple of mia roses already, though I agree it flows nicely.

It still applies. Myar isn't a great name, sorry. I would assume the parents couldn't spell Mya or Mia

Our Maia has a one syllable middle name - not my favourite, but named after DPs best friend...

Sounds like Mylar which is a type of plastic. I think it'll be a long time before Myra becomes popular!

Maya Lily?

I put all the different spellings, so people wouldn't suggest other spellings to me. The sound is essentially the same, sorry for any confusion, obviously my favourite spelling is mya or maia, and it was just middle names I wanted suggesting.

Thankyou lazycow007, my other half really likes that.

Don't use Mya or Myar spelling- they are made up and look really odd.

Maya Pearl
Maya Jane
Maya Claire
Maya Raine
Maya Rose
Maya Eve

Maya Juliet
Maya Penelope
Maya Elizabeth
Maya Rosalind

Maya Scarlett
Maya Seren
Maya Simone
Maya Lucille

You really can't choose Myra.

The others are really pretty, but please, no to Myra.

Myra Hindley was one of the Moors murderers in the 1960s. The other was Ian Brady.

Sorry - I re-read and realised it was a typo.

(As an aside, one of my midwives for last DC was named Myra)

I would avoide the Myar spelling of this name for that reason though - typos. Maya/Maia are my preferred spellings. If you spell it 'Mia' people possibly won't pronounce it how you want.

Oh yeah forgot bout Myra HINDLEY. lol

I love the name Myra but felt it was a bit too much like calling a boy Adolf. Luckily I also love the Philip Pullman books so I have a Lyra Lucille instead.

It's a shame how that can happen with names. Still I read on here not so long ago that someone MIL had an issue with Joseph (as in Stalin) - I think it depends how popular the name is to start with. I mean the name 'Ian' doesn't provoke the same reaction, when, in theory, it could/should.

Thread hijack - thereisalight - have you bought Mozza's new single yet? There is a FB campaign to get him his first no1.
