.....the name Kya?

Would you say it K-eye-a or K-ee-ya.

I've name changed as I don't want it to out me, but we called our DD this. I would say that about a third/half of the time people pronounce it the wrong way, and it drives me mad.

K-eye-a.

I would pronounce it Kay-a but when I asked DH he said Kia (as in the car manufacturer) of k-eye-a. I wouldn't pronounce it with a stand alone 'k' sound to start.

Which pronunciation were you going for?

K eye a

But I think it would be tricky to know for sure and be understandable that people would choose either or.
