Maya?

May-a or My-a (or another way I haven't thought of!)

I would pronounce it My-a.

Like Angelou and Rudolph.

I'm also thinking of the name Mia, but never come across Mae-a.

My-a, because I've only known one and that's how she pronounced/spelled it.

Thanks all. If we were to use it, would want it pronounced My-a so potentially could be a lot of correcting going on! Maia is probably a bit more obvious, but I just don't like the look of it written down for some reason! Confused

How about spelling it Mya then. Is that something you'd consider.

Maia looks like May-a to me!
