I'm currently pregnant with a baby girl and
We like the name mya but NOT Pronounced mia...
her name would be Mya Morgan but I'm not sure if this is how it's spelt and if like to know ways other would spell it as I know there are a few.

it's very confusing to write as no one can hear me pronouncing it but I hope you understand...

So far we have come across
Mya
Maia
Maya
Myah
What looks the best on paper

It's Maya like Maya Angelou. The spelling is strange because the name is Sanskrit. But I'd spell it phonetically to Myah to make sure people pronounce it correctly. That's just me, though.

I think it should be spelt Maia because it had the letter i in it and Kai is pronounced to rhyme with my so I don't know what people get it so bloody wrong all the time!!!!

Sorry I meant to say I don't know why
