Maia June
Thanks to u lovely mn people Ive found the name Maia. Totally love the meaning too. Just wondering if it goes with the middle name June. It's my late granny's name so it will not be changed. The first name has to suit the middle name. Dh first choice is Lola June but I'm not so sure in Lola. Thanks

Molly? Just trying to think of names similar to Mia.
Mali (Welsh girls name.)

Artandco · 04/04/2016 17:42

Maia June is fine as when will you really say both in every day life?

I would however add another name

Maia Estella June
Maia Delphina June
Maia Theodora June

IslaSinga · 04/04/2016 17:39

Love Maia or Maya and think it's fine with June - you rarely use your middle name in every day life.

Or, how about Nyah, Naomi Norah or Nina.

FarrowandBallAche · 04/04/2016 15:19

Gaia?
I think it's lovely.

GingerLeaves · 04/04/2016 14:30

Maia and Mia are very similar, especially if they'll be really close...

AbitAsleep Mia was our first choice until my sisters friend named her baby that a few weeks ago Sad don't want to be seen to be copying plus our kids will be going to same primary school and could be in the same class. Still gutted all the same

I think Maia June is lovely.

I don't think Maia is ever pronounced May-a is it? It's always My-ah. If people want May-a they go for Maya (which is still more often My-ah ime!)

ABitAsleep · 04/04/2016 12:14

Much prefer Maia over Lola!

Maia June is lovely. I don't think it sounds like May at all, but it depends on how you pronounce it - some people will say My-ah, some will say May-ah.

As an alternative you could use Mia? But i prefer much Maia

GingerLeaves · 04/04/2016 01:23

I really like Maia - I don't see how it sounds like May? Confused

Maia June is lovely, OP Smile

PointlessUsername · 03/04/2016 23:45

I prefer Lola to Maia

ThisToo · 03/04/2016 23:35

I know a Lila June. Again it is a family name, she was born in November.

Sophronia · 03/04/2016 23:25

It doesn't sound like May June as its pronounced My-ah not May-uh. I like it and prefer it to Lola.

mrsschu · 03/04/2016 22:46

It does sound like May June which is a bit ridiculous. BUT how often will she use her middle name? Rarely I imagine so it's probably not too much of a cause for concern. I don't like Lola.

Narp · 03/04/2016 18:04

Yes

Youreadthebabybooks · 03/04/2016 18:03

Maia is pronounced my-ya not may-ya

TwigTheWonderKid · 03/04/2016 18:01

Or what about Gaia?

TwigTheWonderKid · 03/04/2016 17:59

Could you stick in another middle name to break it up? eg Maia Rachel June

Narp · 03/04/2016 17:50

I don't really understand why middle names have to 'go' unless you are double-barrelling the name (you aren't double-barrelling it, are you?)

Jw35 · 03/04/2016 17:47

It's ok if it's my-ya rather than May-ya IMO

IoraRua · 03/04/2016 17:43

I think Maia is lovely, but not with June because of the month thing. Hate Lola, sorry.

Other names: Hazel, Lillian, Ivy, Serena, Catherine, Emer, Alexandra, Kelsey, Brooke, Margot, Imogen, Clare, Grace, Mia.
