How many Mayas do you know and where (roughly) do you live.

[nigglewiggle]

I keep hearing on here that it is a really common name and there are dozens of them etc. It seems really unusual where we live (W. Yorks) and I'm wondering if there is a regional bias or whether it is just the kid of name that people notice IYSWIM.

I know one in Kent, she's about 11 though. I think it's a lovely name. Not heard of any where i live in London.

I live in Glod and there are 15 Mayas in my village.

I live in London and know about 4 adult Mayas and 3 children

I know two Majas (one adult, one child), a Mia (Mee-ah - a child), a Mya (little girl) and a Maia (little girl). I also know a Maya pronounced May-ah, who's a baby. Am in London. It is fairly popular, but not as much as Isabella/Isobel etc or Ellie/Ella. i can think of loads more popular names.

I know one Maya but I live in St Lucia so quite far from you

Back home I live in the SW and know one Maia (pronounced May-a rather than My-a)

I know 1 Maya, I live in Kent, and she lives in Norway - she is my cousins baby! They pronouce it My - ah

Devon
I know 2 or 3 under 10 yr old Mia/ maya s

In Sheffield

None in DD's primary school (90-100 girls)
None AFAIK in infant school I work at (approx 135 girls)
None in our friendship/family groups

Have known one -a 15/16y work experience girl at school.

I'm in South West and know 2 baby Maya's, 1 Baby Mya, 2 toddler Mia's and 1 Adult Maya and 1 Adult Mia.

I live in Greater London. I know lots of Mayas, some pronounced My Ah, some May Ah. It is popular amongst White British and Asian Families who prefer the May Ah pronunciation. It's a lovely name

Two under 1s.

Thanks. I thought it might be more popular down south. Do any Mias pronounce their name as My-ah? I would always have thought that was Mee-ah.

Thanks SirBoobs I see you are "daahn saarf" too!

Yes, I think the singer uses the Mya spelling.

I know 4 Mayas (aged 3 to 4) and one Mia.

I live in SW London.

I don't know any, but it is on my baby name list, North Yorkshire.

I'm in the south-west and know three Maya/Maias aged 10 and under. There seemed to be a lot of Mayas around at a rather lentil-weaving festival I went to the other week....
