I love the name Maia..
I actullay love tallulah maia? they are all very nice though..:) x

maia Tallulah sounds awful to me because of the A sounds... Too many of them and it doesn't flow nicely (bizarrely, Tallulah Maia does sound better but i still don't like it :o) I'd strike Sienna off the list for that reason too actually.

I think Juliet is good as you have a slightly wacky name and a nice sensible one and also it has a hard sound at the end which IMO complements the softer A at the end of Maia. Brooke and Scarlet work in this respect but I don't like them.

Whilst I'm here, personally I prefer Maya.

Yes, I can't decide between maya and maia. Maia is the greek version. Hmmm well my name choice is Maia/maya where as my partner wants tallulah, hence why I put then together. My mum is called Juliet, so thats one of the reasons why I thought maybe that could work as a middle name.

I cant really find many names that seem to work with Maya/Mais. Its seems to be better as a middle name, but I really want DD1 to have it as a first name, so not sure what to do really.

i love Maia, it's a beautiful name

my fave from your lsit is Maia Juliet

Maia Juliet

I'm a teacher and struggle with name pronunciations all the time. Maia wasn't that hard to work out in all honesty. So I wouldn't worry about the pronunciation. I think you should stick to a single syllable name to go with her surname but I don't like Brooke, it sounds really American.

Thankyou Catherine. Any ideas as to a one syllable name that we can use. Any suggestions welcome.

Sorry, but I really wouldn't choose Maia - mainly because it's not clear which way to pronounce it. I know 3 people with variations on this name pronounced as follows

my-er (she spells it maya)

may-a (spelt maia)

mee-a (also spelt maia!)

I only say as 1 of my DC has a name which is spelt in the traditional (I think correct!) way, and it is nearly always mispronounced on on first reading. Very annoying for DC!!

You may have picked the correct spelling, but how will you feel if the name is persistantly mis read?

Beth - it's quite feminine and not commonly used at the moment. Short for Elizabeth, some people consider it dated though.

Claire - very girly and never too common.

Maia is miles better ythan Tallulah.

Use Juliet.

I think middle names should be chosen for family or personal reasons not because they sound nice!

Maia Juliet

I would pn it Maya btw, I wouldn't have thought it was so difficult - it's very mainstream

Well Maia in greece is pronounced my-er and I think it looks nice like this...I think its the sort of name you can't win with pronounciation. I could just spell it Mya, but this looks unfinished in my opinion.

Maia Scarlett or Maia Juliet are lovely.

Juliet!

Thankyou expectingno3 and BeedeBee
