I recently watched a film with a female character named Baya (Les Noms des Gens - good film!) and fell in love with it! I looked it up and apparently it means ugly or something like that in Swahili but it means more pleasant things in other languages. Its on the rise in France so I can see using it there, do you think it would work in the states? What about the name in general?

It's pronounced like bye ah (at least in this movie it is)
