How would you pronounce...

[DifficultToSay]

.....the name Kya?

Would you say it K-eye-a or K-ee-ya.

I've name changed as I don't want it to out me, but we called our DD this. I would say that about a third/half of the time people pronounce it the wrong way, and it drives me mad.

I'd say K-eye-a

K eye a

But I think it would be tricky to know for sure and be understandable that people would choose either or.

I would pronounce it Kay-a but when I asked DH he said Kia (as in the car manufacturer) of k-eye-a. I wouldn't pronounce it with a stand alone 'k' sound to start.

Which pronunciation were you going for?

K-eye-a.

Kaya but I'd be rather uncertain!

Ky (rhyming with high) a.

Kai-a

Like hiya

K-eye-a
Because the only Kya I know pronounces it that way. And because T-ee-a, M-ee-a etc have I's rather than Y's.
Sorry if I've pronounced it wrong fwiw people get dds wrong a lot and I have no idea how.

I'd say Kay-ya very uncertainly

K eye a

K eye a

K eye a

To rhyme with hiya.

This is a bit like a very similar name that begins with "M" I genuinely don't know how to say it!

To rhyme with hiya.

I would pronounce it K-eye-a.

No offence but I have never heard of this as a name and I expect some other won't have either. You can hardly choose an obscure name that could be pronounced two different ways and then get irritated when some people pronounce it 'wrongly'.

I'd pronounce it K eye a

I would probably say K-eye-ah but agree that if you're going to invent a name with ambiguous pronunciation you can't get annoyed when people get it wrong.

Key-ah

But if someone told me that was their name I'd think of the car

Where did you get this name from??!

I would say Kai a. I used to know a Kyah and she said it like that.

It is like Mia though - some say Mee a and others say My a. I never get it right!

As pp, to rhyme with hiya.

Ky - a (like hiya)

I know an Australian girl called Kyah who pronounces it like this and also taught a Kaia which was said the same way. It makes sense that it would be the same as Mya/Myah/Maia

If you wanted Kee-ah I would expect the spelling Kia (like Mia and Tia)
