How would you pronounce my baby name

[Ashb123]

My little girl is called Mia but people are saying it differently and it’s really annoying me! I pronounce it Mia as in mee-ah but she keeps getting calling mya, she’s only 10 days old and it’s putting me off it to the point of changing it.

I would pronounce Maya as May Ah
Not Mya. I know 3 Maya’s all pronounced May Ah. Never heard of Mia being pronounced as Mya. Mia is a lovely name op I’d stick with it.

Mee-ah.

Don't go back to Evie. People will pronounce it EEvie.

But don't accept being railroaded.
If he won't agree to Evie and Mia is causing problems, then maybe choose a third name you can both agree on.

.......
I would pronounce Maya and Maia 'My-ah'.

Mya (pr. My-ah) is a NN for Jeremiah that was very common in SW Ireland.

Mia is me a and maya is my a, in my experience.

Lovely name

Mya. I've taught many children in the last 4 years with this name and spelling (it's become quite common). It's always been mya. Now almost to be different parents if this intake are saying it's not mya it's meea. No judgement

Mia is Me-ah. As in mia farrow.

Mya is my- yah.

Both lovely names but totally different. In pronunciation.

I would say Mee - ah as well. I have a niece and she is Maya which is said My - ah. I think they are two different names ( niece lives in a different country so different pronunciation rules may apply but that is how her parents and she have always pronounced it )

I know quite a few mias and each one is pronounced mee-ya. It's a lovely name but way to popular imo

I find this name tricky! I know a Mia pronounced Mee-ah and one pronounced mi- yah

Call her Evie Mia . You did all the hard work, he should not be allowed to force through a name that makes you unhappy

Mia= Mee-ya
Mya= My-a

As in Farrow.
To me my-ah is spelt Maia

I agree.

I'd say Mee-a. I know one Maya (pronounced May-a) and one Maja (who is Polish) pronounced (My-a).

Mee-ah , I’d say
Used to know a Maia that was pronounced My-ah same as Gaia

Mind you Evie isnt straightforward either. I know one pronounced Evvy

I work in a school. We've had several Mias, Myahs, Mayas over recent years. In my experience Mia is said Meeya but honestly there's no guarantee! We've had every combination of spellings and pronunciations!

I know a lot of Mee-a My-a and May-a s and they are all spelt similarly. (so Mia or Maya or Maia). I think your is most likely to be the first, but I wouldn't be sure.

It's not too late to change. It'll just be a story to tell one day!

I'd initially pronounce it Mya, I think.

What about Maddie? (Somewhere between Mia and Evie?)

Evvy is surely the standard pronunciation for Evie?

It was my grandmother's name.

The many little Evies I know are all Evvie (rhymes with heavy).

Evvy is surely the standard pronunciation for Evie?

I'd have said Eevee (like the Pokémon). I suppose Evvy makes more sense if the full name is Evelyn, but Eevee if it's a pet name for Eve or Eva. If it's given as a name on its own, it could be either.

*or Evangeline

Mee-ah is standard for Mia.

The only My-a people I know are Maja or Maya.

The many little Evies I know are all Evvie (rhymes with heavy).

Wtf?!

No.

I literally know about 10-12 Evies located from Scotland to Bournemouth via North Wales, Durham, London and they are all called Eee-vee. I've never ever heard Evvy. Where are you based mathanxiety?
