How would you pronounce this?
Kiya. Kia or Kaya? My hairdresser has a friends daughter called this but not sure how to pronounce it so calls her Kiki

I'd say Kia, but I could certainly understand it being pronounced Kaya / Kaia. Too bad the parents didn't choose one of those spellings. I like Kiki better, btw. :-)

Personally Kia. but with more a -yah end than simply -ah. I'm unsure how someone could get Kaya.

Rhymes with higher if you drop the -r.

I'd most definitely pronounce it kye-ya. Like how a ninja yells high-ya! but with a k....just maybe a little less enthusiastic...I first heard the name a few years ago and used it in a few stories. I think it's intuitive to say kye-ya. At least to me.
