Re: Maya, Maia and Maja
in reply to a message by elsie
Here in the US Southwest, Maya is the only form of the name I've seen IRL, and everyone pronounces it MIE-uh. Maia is my favorite form, and I pronounce it MIE-uh as well.
I believe almost no one would get Maja right down here. It's just not intuitive, and I think a little Maja would hear MAHZJ-uh all the time. It does seem a little nicknamey, but I think it would stand alone.
