Since my last name is Maeva it does have a lasting impression. The name was given to me by my father, and his father was from American Samoa, which seems to be a large family in the islands. The e is silent and is actually pronounced more with an long a sound Ma'ava, something do do with the actual vowels recognized in their alphabete.

It's pronounced MAH ay vah (spelled Maéva, with an accent).

My name is Maeva and I'm half Samoan so my name is pronounced like this-mah-EH-va. But everyone just calls me mayva because they cannot pronounce it.
So it seems that it's mah-AY-vuh.
And Eos does make a cool middle name. I'm not sure what to pair with it as a first.
