Does Maya Sound Like Mia??

[x-amy-x]

I keep repeatedly calling her My-ah even though you've told me how it's said. Gah, bad habit

Blame Heroes for that

Me too Don't know what's wrong with me! Must be Heroes... x

 

[Nikkinoonoo]

I have always pronounced it as May-a

 

[Alexas Mommy]

A little, but if the person is listening they should get it right. i get the same when people ask me my name, I say Kari, and there have been a lot of different assumptions of what my name is. Cara, Karen, Carly, Mary... it gets somewhat annoying. Maya will likely get called Mia a lot in her life.

Seriously though, it PISSES me off something rotten. I have to bite my lip because no matter how many times i tell her, she wont stop

 

[Younglutonmum]

Does she do it on purpose or is it a slip of the tongue?

Hi,

I was talking to my dh about Maya's name as it is so pretty, and I pronouced it May-a

Thank you!!

It's so wierd you should say that as I was talking to my mum about all of your LOs names!! They're all so pretty!!

Oh thank you. Thinking of having more children just to think of names lol. Nah I wouldnt really.

We have a similar problem with Kaysie, everyone says Katie I know they sound a like, but even when I spell it K-A-Y-S-I-E they just dont get it, mind you she is in abright pink buggy and I get oh isnt he.......

[sam's mum]

I had a dream about Maya from Heroes last night..we were looking for light bulbs x

 

[Plumfairy]

My name is Maya but its pronounced Mya...Over the years I've had people call me Mia (Meee-aaa) Myra (?? wtf) May-a (like yours..) and lots of others!!! I dont bother correcting people anymore!!! haha!!

 

[Jem]

I always say "May a" too so glad I was saying it right!

How about this for annoying, when Faith was first born and people would ask me her name I'd say "Faith" and they'd look at me gone out and say "Face???". WTF???? and I'd have to say "Noooo, FAITH!!!!" You have to ask why sometimes!!!! x

 

[TashaAndBump]

I've been saying it my-ah

I am dosy... sorry

Lol me too! Sorry! Hahaha Well I know now Some names (in the written sense) are hard to get until you hear them out loud ...or have someone spell it out
