Soft J or hard J? I like it with a soft J.

Are you sure it’s not a mispronunciation of Nadia?

That’s my first thought...

Naja Naja is an Indian cobra.

I think it’s lovely, is it pronounced Nah-yah/n(eye)-ah?

I like it - it suggests energy and radiance to me.

It depends how it’s pronounced.

If it’s more like ‘nar-jar’ then I quite like it.

If it’s more like ‘nadger’ (to rhyme with badger) then I really wouldn’t use it if you’re in the UK.

How is it pronounced?

Is it Arabic? I’m not entirely sure how to pronounce it but it looks pretty written down.

What is the meaning?
Sadly, where I am it would sound like people saying"Nadia" (though I like that too!)
