[Opinions] Gaia
I'm really starting to like this. I like Maya and Kaia as well but Gaia is my favorite right now.I do have some worries about it:it does sound similar to Kaia. will people always confuse Gaia and Kaia? will they misspell iti've heard it's pronounce GAY-ah correctly and not GAH-ya. I however prefer GAH-ya. Would it be inauthentic to pronounce it that way?Do you know any Gaias? will it become more popular (a celebrity used it already?).

I like Gaia. I only know of it being pronounced 'GIE-ah', not 'GAY-ah'. I'm sure 'GIE-ah' at least is a genuine pronunciation (like Maia: 'MY-ah' and 'MAY-ah').

The only pronounciation I'm aware of it Guy-uh. I read a really good book series about a girl named Gaia, and she struggled with people mispronouncing it, but I don't know how common that really is. I can't imagine it being confused with Kaia. Other than the book character, I don't know any. No idea which celeb used it, so I don't think it'll be popular anytime soon.
