[Opinions] Re: Kaya
in reply to a message by Lily
I think it's pretty. I'd pronounce it the same way I pronounce Maya but with an K: KY-ah. KY-ah and KAH-ya sound very different to me no matter how fast I say them. I think it's the second syllable that makes them sound so distinctly different to my ear; in KAH-ya, that Y sound is very obvious. It changes the whole name.
I prefer the Kaia spelling. I don't think I've ever met anyone with the name, but it still seems familiar to me, probably because of its similarity to Maya, Kara, Kayla, and a bunch of other names. That lack of distinctiveness will probably make it seem more popular than it ever actually will be. Creative? Yes, I probably would see Kaya as a creative name but in a minor way. More on the level of Jayson than, say, Mykull.
