Reply With QuoteAs a teacher I relate names to kids I've taught and to me it is a boys name because of that! I love it as a name though and could see it as a girls name too!

Who likes Jaya?
Just a general question (am not UTD yet)! But wondered is Jaya a nice girl's name or is it one of those unusual names that is a bit of a fad?

Oh I didn't know it was a boys name. i thought it was a girl's name of Indian origin. Is it one of those made up modern boy's names IYKWIM ?
I instantly thought of it as a girl's name ... I actually quite like it

I think its gorgeous! A variant could be Jayda?

Jaya is on my girls favorite list- spelt Jaiya. I think it's very pretty.
I knew of a bootscooting champion called Jaiya- she was very pretty!! lol...

Yep, like it for a girls - but also like Jayla too

My sister changed her name to Jaia - so it totally works
She does have to spell it all the time if thats a factor

It is a nice name if you have the right ethnic background, but otherwise it does seem a bit faddish. There's nothing wrong with it aside from that, though.
I don't like any of the variants like Jayda and Jayla- those are invented names with no history of use beyond the last few years, so they seem much more like passing fads.
