I pronounce
Maia and
Maya the same.
Maia is more Greek/Roman and
Maya more Indian/Native American. In Sweden
Maja is pronounced the same way and is a form of
Maria.
Mara means "nightmare" in Swedish, I would prefer
Miriam,
Maria or
Mariah. I like
Mira,
Mia and
Mila.
Mina is ok but I prefer
Minna (I don't pronounce those two the same).
Maeve is pretty and Irish but I prefer names with more than one syllable, easier to shout :)
