I love Maya and Aria but they have both become so, so common especially in my culture, particularly Aria.

I've never seen Mira spelt that way, it's usually Meera. I don't mind it but it's a bit meh.

Aria is the nicest. On my list of names I like if we ever have a DD3 but I fear it’s too similar to DD2’s name.

Mira - electric shower. My-ra or Me-ra?
Maya - May-a or My-a? Too many similar names popular
Aria - it's just air.

Not keen on any. Mira pron Meera is ok but makes me think of Meerkat.

Mira. Maya and Aria are overdone.

Maya is my favourite.

Mira is the name of a shower, also sounds like a contraceptive.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 18/02/2021 12:20

Maya - although very popular, it has a long feeling of "history" and is well used internationally so would be my choice of the 3.

Aria - pretty but sadly feels very trendy because of it's rapid rise in use (probably thanks to namesakes on TV).

Mira - nothing wrong with it, but I've never been keen on the sound (strangely I love the similar Mina!)

I like Aria best.

Edenember · 18/02/2021 12:08

Maya, but I’d default to Maya not Mya pronounciation until you corrected me. Just something to bear in mind as others may do the same which could get annoying.

emmathedilemma · 18/02/2021 10:53

I also have a Mira shower!
I prefer Maya to Aria which just reminds me of operas (and I hate opera!)

Fascinationends · 18/02/2021 10:51

Mira is the name of my dad's shower. The make rather than a pet name. Maya is best though inevitably there will be pronunciation differences. I would say My-a rather than May-a.

Love them all (not helpful I know 😂)

SirSamuelVimes · 18/02/2021 10:50

Aria. It's just such a lovely sound.

00100001 · 18/02/2021 10:50

Erm.

Is it my-ruh or meer-a?

May-uh or my-uh

Arr-ree-uh or uh-rye-uh
