"Aya" is Japanese for "silk" if I'm correct. You could call yourself "silky". :) More suitibly, if you are a Japanese girl, you could call yourself "Aya-chan" or "Ayako". People saying your name with the "-chan" added would mean in Japanese culture that you are very close and friendly with that person (family, boyfriend, childhood friend). "Ayako" is just your name with "ko" added to the end, which means child. A lot of Japanese girl names end with "ko", and can sometimes be used to make a little nickname.

Ex. If a girl's name is "Usagi" (rabbit), since "usa" can mean "rabbit" on its own, adding "ko" to the end would create the nickname "Usako" (bunny-rabbit).

Also, you could call yourself "Ayami" or "Ayabi", roughly meaning "silk woven in beauty". They both mean the same thing, so choose the one you think sounds best. :)

Pronunciations are below.

Aya-chan -> AH-YAH-CHAHN
Ayako -> AH-YAH-KOH
Ayami -> AH-YAH-MEE
Ayabi -> AH-YAH-BEE

I think you should give yourself a special nickname like if you have a name like that you should say AH!!!

Aya doesn't need a nickname! It's too short and cute already. Besides, Ally is too common of a name. Who would want a nickname that was common when their real name is something like Aya?
