Help[Opinions] Re: Gaia
in reply to a message by Perrine
GAH-ya is an interesting pronounciation, better than the more common GAY-a. I don't think it's very usable, most people would be turned off by the "gay" part and the Greek pronounciation sounds like "Yeah", so it's not much better.

I didn't know that GAY-a was common in English, I've only ever heard it pronounced GAH-ya. That's also the Italian pronunciation and they way it has been pronounced in most countries I have been to. It is quite common in Italy. Yes, the Greek pronunciation isn't very nice. Hmm I find it odd that people would say GAY-a because Maya isn't MAY-a and Kaia isn't KAY-a and these names are pretty well known. But it is interesting, thanks for your answer!
