I also think that would be the best spelling to get that pronunciation in English. Even though a lot of people will say it like eye-a, but it could be corrected, makes sense as ay-a too, and it doesn't look strange.

I usually think "eye-a" when I see that, too. Still, it has the benefit of looking less strange, which is a definite bonus indeed. (It also has the benefit of being a name that already exists.)

I think the eye-a pronunciation problem is very American-English? Cos I just don't see that pronunciation at all. Being brought up in the UK, I think Aya fits your pronunciation needs perfectly.
