Martin and I can't agree on which spellings for either name. And I'm qualifying Ronan and Ronin as two separate names since they mean different things (Little seal v. Masterless samurai).On Maya v. Maia it's just the spelling we can't agree on. If you want just use the poll or explain. I'm grateful for either.

Thanks ahead of time!

I slightly prefer Maia to Maya. Both are fine.

 

I LOVE Ronan. Ronin not so much. It looks like a made-up name, even if it's not.

I like both Maia/Maya a lot! I guess depends on the middle name as any middle name with a lot of vowels would look overwhelming with Maia. I slightly prefer it though :)

I much prefer Ronan to Ronin though. For whatever reason, it just feels more right to me lol x

On Maia/Maya, I voted Maia but I'm pretty neutral.

For Ronan/Ronin, I voted Ronan. I like the meaning of Ronin better, but the name is becoming relatively well known, so I feel like a Ronin would be having his name misspelled ALL THE TIME. So: Ronan if it is a first name, Ronin if it is a middle name.

If I just saw Maia I think I may be confused on how exactly to pronounce it. So I am going with Maya!! I also like Ronan better than Ronin.
