Oia
What do you think of the Medieval English name Oia? I think it's pronounced Oy-uh.

It's like saying 'Oi!' but then getting confused, all of a sudden, on what to say and ending up saying 'Uh...'
It seems oily to me. I can't say whether I like it or not, actually. I think it's the "make or break" type of name that'd depend on who and how it's used in practice. Right now I'm just neutral.
I almost hear it as "Oh yeah" or the very least "Oh ya!" Its over-simplicity is almost comical to me.
Oia of Olay sprang to mind. :P
It's a place in Santorini (Greece). I think it's okay as a name, and Oia the town is beautiful.
