Kya or Kaia.

AfunaMbatata · 19/07/2017 19:49

Kaya

OlennasWimple · 19/07/2017 19:50

I know a Kyah

MaryWortleyMontagu · 19/07/2017 19:51

I would pronounce Kaya as "kay-uh" rather than "kie-uh".

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 19/07/2017 19:51

I think Kaia.

MikeUniformMike · 19/07/2017 19:54

Kaiya?

SarahJonesS · 19/07/2017 19:58

I prefer Kaia. I think there's a risk Kaya will be pronounced as Kay-ah

SuperBeagle · 19/07/2017 20:00

Kaia.

Bubbaboo2 · 19/07/2017 20:00

I know a Kaya pronounced kai-uh

MyNewBearTotoro · 19/07/2017 20:01

I know a Kya pronounced Kye-ah.

I would pronounce Kaya and Kaia as kay-a.

So I would use Kya for the peobounciation you want.

Imspartacusforreal · 19/07/2017 20:02

Kye'ah

maralittle · 19/07/2017 20:03

At first, I thought you wanted the "kay-a" pronunciation and I was going to suggest Kaya rather than Kaia, as Kaia to me is the name Kai with an -a sound on the end.

So, Kaia, or Kya. I like Kaia best.

missfussypants · 19/07/2017 20:06

i dont like Kya spelling so would be between Kaia and Kaya i think !

Oh Imspartacus, you are joking? Apostrophe catastrophe.

AfunaMbatata · 19/07/2017 20:36

It's quite a common girls name in a couple of African countries and is spelled "kaya" ...if that's any help.

Lemondrop99 · 19/07/2017 20:46

Kaya

MikeUniformMike · 19/07/2017 20:47

Oh OK. I thought you'd made it up. Thanks for pointing it out.

MoonPower · 19/07/2017 20:47

Kaya like Maya Smile

Sophronia · 19/07/2017 20:52

Kaya

Mumzypopz · 19/07/2017 21:29

Both are awful

buttercup54321 · 19/07/2017 21:32

Kya.

MrsRhettButler · 19/07/2017 21:36

I have a Kaiya but had I chosen the spelling I would have chosen Kaya.
People seem to struggle with spelling it when I spell it out loud to them, it's the i and the y together.
On the plus side it is very very rarely mispronounced Smile

MrsRhettButler · 19/07/2017 21:37

I would spell Maya like that also MoonPower

MrsRhettButler · 19/07/2017 21:39

I think you'll have a lot of people pronouncing it 'Kay ah' though if you go for the Kaya option, so it depends how much you care about that.

calilark · 19/07/2017 21:42

I'm the annoying one who comes along to say that I prefer the spelling Caia. Beautiful.
