I know what you mean. I'm not sure that your Maia would end up as Maia Lastname but she very well could be Maia with an I (as opposed to Mya with a Y or Maya with 2 As). Popularity is very local. If a lot of your friends are using Mya on their little girls (who might go to school with yours) means you might want to stay away.
Sorry if I'm not much help. I guess and your husband need to decide if you can handle being Maia with an I's parents or if you want to keep looking.
