Alexyia Mai??

Thanks for any input I'm really struggling. Middle name has to be Mai :-)

Alexia not Alexyia- I'm not sure if that is a valid variation on the spelling or a made up one, but I'd assume most people would spell it Alexia and you and your dd having to correct them forever more.

Same with Mai is it pronounced May or sound more like My, the only time I have come across Mai was a lady from Thailand and she said it was pronounced My not May.

Alexia is lovely. Alexyia is a waste of a Y and looks silly, will constantly be spelled wrongly

I don't like those names together tbh. Too many "ia" sounds.

How do you pronouce Mai? Is it "My", or May"?

Alexa May sounds/looks better.

The name sounds fine, but are you sure you want a 'y' and an 'i' in the spelling? (May have been a typo?) I would go with either Alexya or Alexia.

Is it pronounce it? How is it pronounced?

Is it pronounce it?

Initial thoughts from me on it written is that it looks "harsh".

Why the extra y in it? What's wrong with Alexia?

I like all the -lex- names for girls generally - Alexandra, Alexa, Alexia.

If you like it, don't look it up in a dictionary.

I'd go for Alexia spelling.
