I love both of these names, some days I prefer Maia and other days I prefer Maya. I pronounce Maia as MY-uh and Maya as MAY-uh but I have known a Maya pronounced MY-uh like the Maya people. I find both names simple, sweet and underused, though, as you said, the MY-uh pronunication (spelled in various ways: Maia, Mya, Myah) did get a bit of a run for a while. I don't like Gaia at all.
