HelpRe: Maya or Maia
in reply to a message by pixie_btrfly
I have only just trained myself to see Maia and think MY-uh. In the past I had always heard these names (albeit only in my head and not in real life) as MAY-ah, which I don't find appealing.
Maya still brings to mind the latter pronunciation which is why I prefer Maia. The TV show 'the 100' has helped me recognise MY-uh as the much more accepted pronunciation but I think I will always struggle to see this with the spelling Maya.
Anyway though, I am a fan of the name and Maia (MY-uh) is a relatively new addition to my long list.
