Kaya or Kaia or?

[missfussypants]

How should i spell this? going for the pronounciation Kye Ah. Thanks

Oooh i like that too calilark

Just remembered that Cindy Crawford has a daughter named Kaia. This spelling. I think that's why it seems more intuitive to me.

Don't mind Caia though.

Kaia

not a fan of caia for some reasonits lovely but think i prefer the K spellings

Kaya looks nicer, and it should be pronounced this way. A pp explained how this is a known African name.

People saying this should be said as kay -a to rhyme with layer are quite simply wrong. (Just like when they try to pronounce 'Maya' the same way).

Hahahahahaha in some ways I like it and in some ways I realise it's a bit ridiculous

ims, how is it ridiculous?

Have you decided op?

Afuna, not yet will be between Kaia and Kaya though. I wouldn't want Kaya to get Kay... but can't decide which spelling i prefer

Go for Kaya, you know it's the right choice

kaayyyaaaa>

i think i prefer the look of Kaia at the moment.

if someone was to say:

my name is "kye ah"

how would you spell it? As want to go for one that will be less hassle to say / spell etc

Hiya!

I know a little 'Caja' pronounced that way... It's Cornish for Daisy.

I have one in my Brownies, spelt Kaia.

If someone said their name was 'Kye ah' I would spell it Kya but maybe that's because how the only one I know spells it.

I don't think either Kaya or Kaia are necessarily obvious or genetic spellings from someone who didn't already know the name but I think Kaia is better of the two and less likely to be said 'Kay.'

hmm i'm thinking that too Mynew

I wouldn't use Caja. It's Kay-ya or Kay-ja, and would probably get Cadger or Kah-ja too. And it's Spanish for box.

If someone says their name is 'Kye ah' a lot of people spell it as Kia. People aren't going to get it right so go for what you prefer.

And a lot of people will read Kaia as Kia.

I would read both those as kay-uh but would only need to be told I was wrong once and would see why. Kyah ?

Kiya.

i think i might have to go with something a bit simpler... Other choice is Summer. Thoughts?

Summer is lovely! (And you won't come across as illiterate to those who know "kaya" as a name!)

afuna, good point!
