I think Amaya is very pretty. I prefer Amaya to Amaia even though I prefer to Maia to Maya :P

I adore Amaya. Amaia looks completely wrong to me.

Amaya is cute.

I like Amaya, but I'm biased, my mn is Maya, and I love both. :-) I prefer Amaya to Amaia though.

I think that Amaya is one of the most beautiful names I have ever come across, and though I am entirely against changing a name simply for the sake of it looking differnt when spelled (especially if it is adding a lot of "trendy" letters, such as Emily to Emaleigh), as long as you don't stray to far from Amaia (which isn't too bad, I actually prefer the name Maia to Maya). However, I do like Amaya better . . . but probably just because I biased towards the one I'm used to.

I would like to add my blanket disclaimer at this time: I am personally against giving Japanese, or any other blatantly ethinic name, to a child who is not of that ethnicity except under certain circumstances (such as a child having enough blood to be considered ethnic {which is completely subjective} but being named for an ethnic relative, or a family living in that country for long term).
