Reply to: pronunciation by melanie
I believe it's pronounced similarly to the Greek goddess/mother earth GAIA (Pavlos would be more familiar with the Greek word for earth, but I believe it's Gaia, not KAIA, but I'm sure he'd correct me if I am.) The way I explain the pronunciation of Gaia is by splitting it into its syllables (GUY-ah) so Kaia I'm sure is just a different beginning consonant sound.
