Wdyt of Amaya?
I also like Maya, but lately I've been liking Amaya slightly more. I only like it pronounce 'Uh-may-uh'. That's my only concern. I know most people don't prn it that way.Thanks. :)

I like it, but it reminds me of "Am I a...?" I prefer Amara.

I think Amaya is lovely and I pronounce it the same way as you do. I think I actually might prefer Amaya to Maya.

I think of "Am I a ...?" and I remember another naming site where the parents were planning to name their dd Amaya Johnson. I and several others tried to convince them that it wasn't a good idea. I'm not sure the parents-to-be took our advice. Overall, I have no problems with Amaya. I just think the surname needs to be taken into consideration. ;-)I've never heard the name pronounced a-MAY-a but if that's a common pronunciation where you live, you could get away with it.

I kinda like it.

I think you will definitely get some trip-ups over pronunciation if you prefer "uh-may-uh". I immediately read it as "ah-MY-ah".It is a beautiful name, but I think I prefer the original Basque spelling of Amaia. the spelling of Amaya also reminds me of "papaya" - which isn't bad at all, but distracting for me :) I absolutely adore the meaning of "the end" that it has. So very poetic and powerful!

I much prefer the look of Amaia! Thanks for that. I don't mind 'ah-my-ah' really, I just like the softer sound of 'ah-may-uh'
