Re: Maia ...

I don't care for it because of how it looks (the triple vowels throw me off, I think) and the possible pronunciation confusion. I would use the spellings Mya for MIE-ah and Maya for MAY-ah. For some reason, I see Mya aging better than Maya, but I'm not sure why, so I'm basing this on pronunciation rather then spelling, in this case.

I'm always opposite with you..

Zoey looks like a little girl's name to me, but I see Zoe as a quirky woman, Mya I see has a young girl, Maia I think of a beautiful Greacan woman from ancient times.

Huh.

That's funny. I'm usually the oddball, so perhaps more people see it as you do. :::shrugs:::
