Both spellings you gave will yield people calling the baby Mack-yah. Go with Makaya or Makaia, as suggested above.

Ky, with a long "i" sound?

Makiah (sort of like Mariah).

Ky, with a long "e" sound:

Makeah

Good luck!

It’s pronounced Ma-ky-a (long "i" sound) sort of like Mariah.

The only problem with "makaya" is that I know a girl who just named her daughter this, but it is actually pronounced the way it looks Ma-Kay-a ("a" sound, instead of "i" sound) The only other spelling I thought of were - Makiyah or Makaiya.
