Maya Grace is the best of those 3. Also fitting:

Maya Fern

I'd say Maya Lily or even another flower name, how about:-

Violet, Heather, Pansy

In fact Maya Violet sounds nice. But I think Maya Lily!

Logged in to say Avni, but love your choice of Maya.

I'd go for another one syllable middle name.

Jamila also easy to say xx

Hema
Taran

They're not as anglo sounding as some names, but then neither is Priya.

Like Priya they are easy to spell, sound similar to English names (Hema sounds a lot like Emma) but are recognisably Indian and beautiful.

I prefer the Anita spelling if you go that way :)
