Share Your Thoughts 5 Comments Maia Jul 22 at 3:28 am My name is Maia and it is pronounced ( My-ee-ah) My mother told me she found it in a boom of African names… the meaning… lovely West Africa… I met several other women with the same name and they told me that they were told their name meant LOVELY… from west African Origins… Reply Suzie Walker May 20 at 11:22 am I liked the sound of the name, the connotations to her birth month of May and of course the amazing Maya Angelou. It was high on my list and then her big sister came up with the name of her own accord too and I decided to go for it Reply Troyanne Ashley Singer Apr 29 at 9:06 pm Maia is pretty she’s pretty Maya and Maia is two different names Reply Samantha Jun 8 at 11:12 am I selected the name Maia because i thought it went well with my other daughters name, Indie. I liked the spelling, I thought it is really pretty. I also didn’t want a name that is really common. Reply Jamie Apr 12 at 6:55 am We chose Maia because our last name is one of the most common in the country, so we wanted a first name that was different but not so totally out there. I iike that down the road she probably won’t have another Maia (or Maya) in her class/grade.
