Hi all currently 26 weeks pregnant with my 4th.

we have been thinking of the name jahmaya.

Dd- jahnay
Dd- jahniya
Ds- josiah.

We are known as the j family as both my self and hubby both begin with J 😊😊

What do you think and how would you spell it?

Thanks In advance

I don't understand your answer, @jadey1991 . My questions are how do you say them?
I guessed that the Jah bit was a reference to the caribbean.

Do you say Jahnay as Jannay or as Jah Ney?
Do you say Jahniya as Jan-eye-ah or as Ja(r)nia?

Sorry I must has misread..
You say it say jah-nay and jah-niya.

Jahmaya or Jahmila or Jahmilia. Personally the final one as sounds similar but also a bit more unique.

I like those spellings
