I keep hearing on here that it is a really common name and there are dozens of them etc. It seems really unusual where we live (W. Yorks) and I'm wondering if there is a regional bias or whether it is just the kid of name that people notice IYSWIM.

I know two Majas (one adult, one child), a Mia (Mee-ah - a child), a Mya (little girl) and a Maia (little girl). I also know a Maya pronounced May-ah, who's a baby. Am in London. It is fairly popular, but not as much as Isabella/Isobel etc or Ellie/Ella. i can think of loads more popular names.
