Help[Opinions] Re: Maya
in reply to a message by ollyar
It's funny that you should post this. Just yesterday I was wondering why I don't suggest it more, or use in in my series of polls ("Ready-made combination(s) for a girl.") So I corrected that error this morning with the combo Maya Kateri. :-) [Please vote in my polls.]
I tend to prefer Maia, which I pronounce exactly the same way, with a long "i" sound. It has the bonus attraction of ancient Rome, for me. (My stock combos: Maia Celeste and Ingrid Maia.)
Perhaps what has turned me slightly off of Maya is the way parents here in the U.S. are beginning to muddy the waters with the spelling: Mya. Which is it supposed to be? Maya (long "i") or Mia (long "e")? Pet peeve of mine.
Bottom line: Maya is a beautiful name. I must remember to not forget her as much. :-)
