Help[Opinions] Re: Which of these would you pronounce like MIA
in reply to a message by Norah Namenerd
Mia:
Mhia
Miah
Miia
Miya
Miyah
Mie-a:
none of them listed (Maia and Maya, though)
Mae-a:
Meia
Meiah
Meiya
Meya
Meyah
Miaya I'd pronounce mee-AY-a
Is this because you're going through the top 1000 and combining all spellings? :)

You got it!
It's getting more and more difficult to comb through spellings, Mia is currently way more popular than Maya, but Maya has traditionally had more Kreativ spellings. I'm inclined to think that, as names get more popular people tend to find more U-neeq spellings for them so most of the above are probably Mia, but I'm still torn. I also don't think many people actually use the Mae-a pronunciation, the girl I knew was probably an anomaly. Don't even get me started on Karyn/Corin/Corinne!

I could never do that
I would be muttering to myself the whole time about how stupid people are because I know there would be spellings that I assume were meant to be pronounced one way, but phonetically wouldn't be. Like the person I heard whose name was Haley, but it was spelled Halley... ummm, no. Or the girl who took our order at Arby's a few days ago was named Kyndra, but she was getting called Kendra. Yaarg.

Kyndra sounds like Kendra to me. I can't think of any instance where "kyn" wouldn't sound like "ken/kin" actually

To me ken and kin don't sound the same, at least at the beginning of a name. Kin is much more nasally.

Ok, I thought you were going for KINE-dra or something. I went to school with a lot of Kendras but in my area there's not such a pronounced difference between 'in' and 'en' so they all sounded about like "Kindra" - though less nasally than you probably imagine

Yes, I see you're from southern IL. So I can imagine the accent difference now. :)

Haha! The Corinne spellings drive me crazy too!
