[Opinions] How would you spell…
How would you spell a name pronounced zen-eye-uh?I'm between adding Zenia and Zeniya to my list.

Zenaia. I'd pronounce Zenia and Zeniya as ZEN-ee-a and ze-NEE-ya, respectively.
Zenaya for sure
Zeniya for sure.
Zenaia. I'm pretty sure Zenia and Zeniya are generally pronounced zen-EE-yuh, so you'd have to correct the pronunciation constantly.

Zeniah. Maybe Xeniah.
Zeniah
Zenaia maybe?
Something like Zenaia, Zenaya, maybe Zenaiah.
"ia" and "iya" both look like ee-uh.
I'd spell it Zenaya. Like Zendaya without the D? Or if not that, maybe Zeniah - like Mariah or Josiah.
I'd say Zenia or Zeniya as "ZEN-ee-a"
But Zendaya isn't pronounced with an "eye" - it's Zen-DAY-yah.
I stand corrected.
Zeniah is quite nice
I’d probably spell it Zeniah. The h at the end makes a difference as to how I pronounce it for some reason. Maybe because some biblical names ending in -iah are eye-uh and a lot of names that are popular at the moment like Sophia and Olivia etc. are ee-uh.
Yes, my instinct with Zenia is zen-ee-uh or zen-ya!
