Like Hiya without the 'H'

HeyRoly · 22/07/2017 21:35

Yep, "hiya" without the H!

MommaGee · 22/07/2017 21:34

Ay-ah and yeah to close to hiya

CancellyMcChequeface · 22/07/2017 21:33

Eye-ah.

Geek alert: it means 'hail!' in Quenya Elvish. That's my only association; I've never encountered it as a name before.

That's Scouse for hiya!

It sounds like Hiya! in a cockney accent. Awful.

MagnumAddict · 22/07/2017 21:31

Eye-ah

Eye-ah. I would say Ay-ah if it were spelled Aya or Ayah.
