My name is Mia and it's pronounced Mya, everyone calls me MEE-A and it annoys me so much, also it can be pronounced as Mya as well because when two vowels are together it makes the first one long so in my name my I is long which is why I say Mya but it's spelled Mia. I'm also Italian and Hispanic.
I have 2 sisters, Tara and Mia (and my name is Avery, I'm a girl) my sister Mia's name is pronounced m-y-a not m-e-a so many people always pronounce her name wrong, it is suitable for any age, my sister Tara is 17 and Mia is 14 1/2. She loves her name! Especially loves it because she is the middle child, I'm the youngest! It's totally up to you how you pronounce it, I think m-y-a Sounds nicer with our last name, and it is more suitable as you get older as well.

My name is MIA & I'm very proud of my name.. Ive had it for 13 years already & some of my teachers have called me "Maya" but I really don't understand since maya is maya & MIA is "me-huh" there is no other pronunciation unless you named your child Mia but you wanna say it like Maya.
"Mia" is pronounced MEE-ah peepz, NOT MY-ah. (: If you like saying MY-ah, the correct way to spell it would be "Maya". "Maya" has a completely different meaning from "Mia".

My name happens to be Mia, and I pronounce it MEE-UH. I've never met anyone who pronounced it MY-A.
Yes, it is also pronounced 'My-ah', as it is my name. In fact, every girl I've known with the name has pronounced it the same and ABHORS 'Mee-uh'. 'Mee-uh', now THAT is just wrong. But yes, I do love my name. When it is pronounced correctly.
