Lucia or Naia

[Mum8]

Which one do you prefer for baby girl?

Lucia.

I know a Naia. The name is supposed to be pronounced Nye-ah (as in Bill Nye), but her mother pronounces it Nay-ah. It's put me off the name.

But surely Naia is the same pronunciation as Maia ‘May-a’ also is Lucia a ‘loo-chia’ or a ‘loo-sha’ (Like St Lucia) ?

Both names are lovely but I prefer Naia. I have a Maia pronounced May-ah.

Lucia pronounced Loo-SEE-a as in Latin America

Naia pronounces as is NA-ya

Maia is also pronounced my-ah, not may-ah.

Lucia.

Oh in that case Naia will be Nya similar to the pronunciation of Maia

Lucia is beautiful, whether with a Loo-SEE-a/ LOO-see-a/ Loo-CHEE-a/ LOO-sha pronunciation.

Especially love the Italian meaning of "Graceful Light".

Naia

SuperBeagle my Maia is pronounced May-ah as is our choice. It can be pronounced either way.

Naia sounds very negative to me.
