Hi
My friend is due next month and having a girl and loves these very similar names (so do i) but cant decide which one to use.

All 3 go with surname and middle name would be Louise(her middle name) or Anne (family name on both sides).

Dont want to make out anyone is stupid but she would have the Mia...said as Meeya not just a different spelling of Mya
IYKWIM

Thanks
xx

I know of a Maia pn'd 'May-ah' but I like it pn'd 'My-ah', always trip over it.

I assumed the choice of 3 included 3 different pronunciations, maybe I'm wrong?

I've never heard Maya pronounced May-ah.

Depends if you want to say 'me' 'my' or 'may'.

I don't think any of them go with Anna - the vowels would be too difficult.

I like Maya.

My-ah

Mia... am also biased!

Not sure if it goes with Anne though, could sound like a mouthful.
