Maya?

May-a or My-a (or another way I haven't thought of!)

I'm also thinking of the name Mia, but never come across Mae-a.

As it is spelt May-a.

ByTheWishingWell · 10/07/2015 18:44

My-a, because I've only known one and that's how she pronounced/spelled it.

Raeray · 10/07/2015 18:45

May-a
I think Maia and Mya is pronounced the same.

MamaLazarou · 10/07/2015 18:55

My-a

GinUpGirl · 10/07/2015 18:56

Mya

GinUpGirl · 10/07/2015 18:56

Like the Mayan people.

tangledtanga · 10/07/2015 19:23

May a

Orangeisthenewbanana · 10/07/2015 19:47

Thanks all. If we were to use it, would want it pronounced My-a so potentially could be a lot of correcting going on! Maia is probably a bit more obvious, but I just don't like the look of it written down for some reason! Confused

How about spelling it Mya then. Is that something you'd consider.

Maia looks like May-a to me!
