Maya seems to be a pretty common name across cultures, but with different meanings and pronounciations. My version of Maya is Indian and means illusion.</p> <p>And of course we will meet Nicole! As if there was ever any doubt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mayaoh-may-a#post-36685 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:41:57 +0000 Tanya 36685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It turns out that I have pronounced it right, but nor because I actually knew it was right - simply because that's the way the name is pronounced in my country too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mayaoh-may-a#post-36682 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:40:00 +0000 Nicole 36682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So everyone else was correct in their pronounciation. I was wrong. (certainly not a first!) </p> <p>My daughter Mia is often called My-ya (long I) but its really Me-ah (long E). And my hairdresser's daughter is Maia (long A)--so I see there are many variations of this similar name.</p> <p>Either way it's a beautiful name, but if and when I meet you, I'll now know how to pronounce it. (I prefer to think "when" I meet you, because that makes it more likely to happen.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mayaoh-may-a#post-36633 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 02:05:43 +0000 Maya 36633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I was talked about by people I have never met! How surreal. Anyway, Angie and Ana have it right. My-ya. I have 2 other names if you would prefer to use one of them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mayaoh-may-a#post-36629 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:54:48 +0000 Ana 36629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I say it, "My-uh." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mayaoh-may-a#post-36627 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:38:54 +0000 Angie 36627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pronounce Maya, "My - ya". Is that right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mayaoh-may-a#post-36569 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 19:08:00 +0000 Nicole 36569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I don't remember if this was every discussed before, but I'd like to know how you pronouce your name.</p> <p>In my mind I say May-a (M long A, short a) But at the BTP, your name came up a few times and everyone else seemed to say Mi-a (M, long I, short a)</p> <p>So..which is it? </p>
