Soriya Dawn vs. Soraia Dawn vs. Soraya Dawn
Spelling help needed! Soriya(seh-ry-uh) is a Cambodian name meaning "sun" and it honors my family heritage being mostly Cambodian(born in the US) myself. My husband is pretty much full American and is worried that Soriya will often be said (sor-ee-uh) instead since it has a similar ending look to names like Aaliyah(uh-lee-uh). He suggested we spell it Soraia or Soraya instead to make it look like Maia/Maya. I'm worried that Soraya will be said (sor-ay-uh) despite it looking like Maya. Which do you think will be easier for pronunciation? Dawn is my mother-in-law's middle name so it is set in stone for our daughter's middle name. If you think Soriya will be too difficult either, way are open to other CAMBODIAN/KHMER name suggestions to see if we can find another we love. First name must be Cambodian/Khmer. Thanks. ~Dara

Saryah is an interesting idea, but we prefer the So- beginning. I suppose Soryah could be an alternative. Husband has the same worry about Sariah and Sariyah as he does about Soriya. Sariah looking somewhat like Mia and Sariyah looking even more like Aaliyah. Thanks though.

I fell in love with the name Soraya when I got hooked on Heartland.

Definitely Soraya - It's a familiar-enough name, and this is a traditional spelling. Soraia is a variant, while Soriya is pronounced so-ree-AH. Soraya Dawn is lovely! Best of luck to you.
I'd say stick with the original name, but either way it's gorgeous.
