QuoteWell im pretty sure at the time my parents wasn't aware that "Quenya" is also the name of a made up language (Born in 1998)
The Lord of the Rings was first published in 1954. According to one of the sources in my previous post, die-hard fans have been writing in Quenya since the 1970s. It is perfectly possible for your parents to have been aware of the constructed language at the time of your birth in 1998, 44 years after the publication of the books.

Quote...and further more why do people keep miss Pronouncing "Quenya" as "Quinn-yah?"

Without hearing it pronounced, the spelling reminds me of Kenya, the country.And Kenya is used as a name in English-speaking countries, so it could be a simple respelling.
