Nya is the main protagonist of Linda Sue Park's novel Long Walk to Water. My boss forced me to read it in mid 2016 when I was about 12.When my boss and I were reading it, she pronounced it Nigh-a or Nee-a, but neither are correct. We were supposed to pronounce the N and the Y together and pronounce it NYAH.
Pronounced "NIE-a".
So my name is Nyah and it's pronounced as n-ay-ahI find it hilarious because when people call me they pronounce it as nee-ya. Or if I would let them write my name they would spell it as 'Naya, Naia, Nia, etc.'Though it's really confusing to pronounce and spell my name, it's really unique :)
I always pronounced it "EHN-yah."
Is this name pronounced the way it's spelt? Like "nya", the Japanese word for "meow"?
