At a hotel last night and the picture in the room was done by a child in the local primary school Maiana Rose. WDYT?Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from

I agree, the spelling looks off
Don't really like it, would have lots of spelling and punctuation issues, Mayanna would be better
My first attempt to pronounce it was 'Maya-ahna.' It looks pretty, but it's a little too soft sounding for my taste (which is funny, because most of my favorite names are softer sounding). I don't know. If it was spelled Mayana, I'd probably have less issues with it, but I think Maiana looks a lot prettier.
At first I read it as Mariana, but Maiana doesn't sound nor look right. It's like a mishmash of Maia and Anna. Mayana would have been a better spelling.
Definite pronunciation issues: MAYana? MYana? I don't think it's worth the effort. Competing with, say, Mabel and Marianne, it'd come in a distant third.
I think it's pretty.
It is very pretty in my opinion.
I bet if I had encountered this name when I was 13 I would have thought it the most devastatingly gorgeous thing I'd ever seen. Now I find it kind of irritating, too full of piercing vowels, and cloying like artificial sweetener. It's cute that it sounds like "My Anna", but the way it looks really irks me.
Pretty!
