Which one do you prefer? And which one is less popular nowadays? Ela with one 'l' as I would like a Polish spelling of this name. Opinions please!

Maya is really lovely.

Ela I'd read as E-la not Ella. There are lots of Ellas.

I like both, but love Maya. It's pretty without being too frilly.

Ela with 1 l is ok but will get misspelt. Before I read the thread I would have said it as Eela or Ayla.
I don't like Maya - It will be said as Maya and My-ah.

Ella is too common, there are 20 in the school I work in. Maya isn't as common as Ela.

Do you think Maya is too common nowadays? I know 4 Mayas born this year...

I have a very irrational hatred for the name Ella (Ela) so Maya
