How do you pronounce Maya?

[Early Kids]

I pronounce it May-a.

It's a gorgeous name either way though

[Laranna]

I pronounce it May-ah. When I see/hear My-ah I consider it as a completely different name.

May-a

Definitely 'May-a'. When I read the title of your post I instantly thought 'how else could you pronounce it???'. Maybe I'm one of the uneducated ones though

BTW, we have a local Indian restauarant called 'Maya Marsalla' and they pronounce it May-a.

I am SO glad you posted this!

I know two of each, two May-as and two My-ahs. I was thinking about it because my friend with a My-ah thinks it's ridiculous to pronounce it any other way. I think it can be misleading, but there's really no other way to spell it that won't also be misleading.

I don't think it's ridiculous to pronounce it May-a. We say May, so it's quite logical to say May-a.
Interestingly, the May-as are up here in QLD, and the others are down south.
