For me,
Gaia has religious aspects, so it isn't something I necessarily like as a name. Kaya feels a bit insubstantial, but
Maya is very lovely. It is springy, but with punch. I don't think it is my style, but I would love to meet a little
Maya. (In my mind it is said like My-ah).
Edit: I do wonder if spelled as
Maya, people might pronounce it May-ah/May-uh. In that case,
Maia is a nice spelling.
