I pronounce it MY-a too, and so does my friend named Maia. (That still doesn't make it legit, just saying.) We had a whole HP thing going on so we called her Her-MAIA-nee. (Don't ask...)

So i guess MY-a it is?

Sorry I'm new to all this

There are multiple legit pronounciations. I think MY-a is one of them, and I like it best, because I knew a MY-a. If I hear MIE-a, I assume it's Mia, and MAY-a is Maya. I'd accept any of those for Maia but it wouldn't be my assumption upon hearing them.

What's the difference between MY-a and MIE-a?

There is no difference.

*facepalm* I'm sorry! I read MIE-a as "me" (myself, I) and a, not "my" (possesive).

Argh. Sorry.
