[Opinions] Maya or Maia
What do you think of these names? Which is better?
Replies
Maya. I like it better.
I have only just trained myself to see Maia and think MY-uh. In the past I had always heard these names (albeit only in my head and not in real life) as MAY-ah, which I don't find appealing.
Maya still brings to mind the latter pronunciation which is why I prefer Maia. The TV show 'the 100' has helped me recognise MY-uh as the much more accepted pronunciation but I think I will always struggle to see this with the spelling Maya.
Anyway though, I am a fan of the name and Maia (MY-uh) is a relatively new addition to my long list.

I prefer Maia. I think it's sweet, perhaps due to my dd's BFF who is named this.. she is a total doll.
