And we have already discussed how “Mia” can be said a few different ways. Maya can also be pronounced “MAY-a,” “MY-a,” or even “ME-a.” The ending can change as much as the first part with some people saying the girls’ name with an “uh” ending as opposed to an “a.” Name mispronunciations do not seem to weaken its appeal.
