Maya 2

My favorite pronunciation is May-uh but My-uh is pretty too!

I like Amaya better, but I still love this name.

I think this name is childish.

I like it better pronounced as May uh, which is how it should be pronounced because of the spelling. This should not be a spelling of Mya/Myah. Besides Maya sounds really pretty, in fact much prettier pronounced as May uh.

Not bad but I prefer Mia.

Very pretty.

This is the epitome of an international name! I love that this name is used in so many languages with so many wonderful meanings.

Pretty!

This is my favorite spelling of the name Maya.

So smart and hot and mature and everyone's favorite person.

I never really liked this name, but there are worse names out there.

My name is Maya and I love it it is so pretty and for me it means a lot.

Love it, and prefer it over Maia. It also reminds me of my BFF with this name!

No thanks. Maia is much better.

Beautiful, but not suitable for me.

The name is cool. But it’s so common it hurts.

Maya is a sweet name! I also love ❤️ Amaya the sound is just lovely!

I love this name, but I prefer Amaya pronounced "Uh-MY-uh". I'd personally use Maya as a nickname for Amaya.

I just realized why I find this name weird. It reminds me of the Numa Numa song. One of the first real viral videos.

I’ve always loved this name!

My name is Maya. It's pronounced MY - ah, not May - ah. But that's just me. It's also the name of a brand of bottled water sold in Egypt, and a diminutive for Amalia.

I love that this name is associated with the Mayan civilization, one of the most peaceful and advanced of the Americas during its time.

This name is awesome!

My niece's name is Maya, and it's perfect for her; it's also a name that ages well, so she won't have any problems being taken seriously when she's older.

I also went to school with a Maja (the Slavic spelling, which I am in love with).

The pronunciation annoys me.

I find it boring and plain, to be honest, but other than that there's nothing wrong with it. I prefer the much less well-known but similar sounding Amaia.

My sister's name is Maya and I think it is a great name!

I like the name Maya a lot, it just sounds really nice to me. Maybe a bit foreign, but that's alright. I found the Mayan people to be interesting so it's something good to compare it to. This is also my friend's dog's name haha but oh well.

An all around great name for a girl!

I love this name, it just rolls off the tongue!

I'd have to say that the Mayans were always my favorite of the Mesoamerican Natives. Maybe because of the mythology and peace? I don't know, but it's a good name.

Like it, but it reminds me of that annoying woman on Heroes.

This is my name, and I love it, but I actually prefer the Latin Maia. It's a lot more unique, and there's two other Mayas in my school. And it's a tiny school. But I still think the name has a feminist, artistic touch to it which I adore, considering I want to be an author.

This the perfect name to me. I definitely see myself with a little Maya one day. :)

I like the spelling Maia better. Maya makes me think of the Mayans, and the Mayans were pretty boring when my Social Studies teacher talked about it.

This is such a pretty name, and a much prettier spelling that Mya.

Maya is such a pretty name for a girl. I read that the name is Greek meaning mother.
