HelpRe: Maia ETA
in reply to a message by BellamynSora
I pronounce it MIE-e. And that's really what I'm afraid of. I don't think it would be common, per se, but not as rare as I would hope. The situation I'm trying to avoid is this: My husband's poor sister Amanda had to use both first and last names because there was another Amanda with the same first, middle, AND last initial. 5 Amandas in their preschool class. Now THAT is an overly popular name.

I know what you mean. I'm not sure that your Maia would end up as Maia Lastname but she very well could be Maia with an I (as opposed to Mya with a Y or Maya with 2 As). Popularity is very local. If a lot of your friends are using Mya on their little girls (who might go to school with yours) means you might want to stay away.
Sorry if I'm not much help. I guess and your husband need to decide if you can handle being Maia with an I's parents or if you want to keep looking.

That's the thing. The Myas we know are in different states, except for one, who's in a different city. I'm not sure how to find out if it's popular in our area. Suggestions?

Take a look at birth announcements in your local papers. You might be able to see archives from the past year or so on their websites. Also, check facebook for people in your city who have posted the names their kids/grandkids/nieces/ect.
