I would pronounce Mya like me-a but either of the other two are fine.

Mya looks like a kre8tiv spelling of Mia(mee-ah). Maia or Maya would be fine. I prefer Maia simply because I know a Maya who gets called may-ah all the time.

Maya is the original spelling and is so much more beautiful! Maia just looks like a "creative" spelling which just takes away from the beauty of the name! And Mya just isn’t pretty at all.

Actually Maia is the original spelling being of Greek origin. Maya came along later as the English spelling. Mya is a variant spelling but will most likely be pronounced the same as Mia. I would go with Maia.

Maya/Maia is stunningly beautiful. I’ve always loved the spelling Maya but lately Maia has been especially stunning to me.

I adore both spellings though I’m leaning more towards Maia (I didn’t vote), but I think someone voted over and over for Maya because your poll has so many votes compared to others.

I’d steer clear of Mya even though it is beautiful, the others have so much history behind them and meaning.

GL!

"Maia" is Hebrew for "close to God"
"Maya" is typically in reference to the Mayans in Ancient Mexico.
