Rhymes with "higher"/"buyer" but beginning with an N.

We like this as our girls name, but just wondering how you would spell it to get the right pronunciation?

Nyah or Nya
I think Nia would get pronounced Nee-a like Mia and Naya could get Nay-a like Maya

I also like Ngaire which is pronounced Niary like diary.

Nia! I know a girl with this name and with “higher/buyer” pronunciation although she was often mistakenly called Nia like Mia/tier!

Calling your child Nia and wondering why everyone is pronouncing it nee-a is like naming her Siân and wondering why no-one is using your preferred pronunciation of see-ann.
