Opinions on Naya

[Snowflakesarefallingdown]

And how would you initially pronounce it?

Naya like Naya Rivera or with the emphasis on the Y?

I read it like Naya Rivera

Middle name options:
Iris
Elena
Sophia

It depends on the childs race and heritage. Iris sounds nice though.

Oh dear, thank you for correcting me - the girl I know called this clearly pronounces her own name wrong! Ignore my advice OP!

Your friend can pronounce her name however she likes.

However your assertion that the Welsh name Nia is pronounced “Nigh-a” is incorrect.
It’s pronounced “Nee-a”.

@RubyBirdy ,it is a well-known Welsh name.
What @HerVagestyTheQueef said.

It's a very popular Welsh name and has been for decades. If your friend claims that the Welsh name Nia is pronounced “Nigh-a” then she has no understanding of the Welsh language.
It's the equivalent of saying the Irish name Niamh is pronounced Nigh-am.
Nia (given name) - Wikipedia

Have you considered Ngaio pronounced Nay-o?

But Nyah is a different name.... 😆

@DuchessOfNarcissex @HerVagestyTheQueef I said thank you you for correcting me and told the OP to ignore my previous advice?? There is absolutely no need to keep posting at me going on about it when I’ve clearly accepted your original posts.

It might be pronounced differently if it originated elsewhere.

If you use the name, don't move to Germany. Spelled naja there, it's a multi-purpose negative interjection. Like calling your kid Meh or Idunno.

i don’t know Naya Rivera so that doesn’t help

I wouldn’t know if it was neigh-a or nai-a

either wag it sounds like a derivative of the word “no”

Nyah I like.
