How do you pronounce Maya?

[babywannabe]

I was watching The Simpson's last night and Moe's girlfriend that he met on the net was called Maya and he pronounced it 'My-a'. Sounds nice both ways.

I would pronounce it May - a.
btw I know a 3 girls called Maiya/maia and the connection to Myers store never occured to me till I read this thread. I think May - a or Mai - a are both lovely names.

I've only ever heard My-a, not May-a. It's a lovely name though I prefer what I think is a variation, Marya. A bit tricky to pronounce though! Literally Mar-Ya. It kinda sounds like Maria if you get it wrong.

I would think it would be 'My -a', it has a smoother sound to it. Ma-ya could be a bit...harsh??
