WDYT of the name Maiara?How would you pronounce it? I posted on the Facts board referring to the pronunciation and received two responses, one saying my-AH-rah and the other saying may-AR-ah.

I think it's very pretty, although a bit fluffy.I say my-AHR-ah.

Pretty. Looking at it I'd think My-ah-rah.
But I think it has too many vowels in a row, so it would be misspelled easily, plus I could not use it on a child, as it looks like a mixed up version of my name, Mariah.

On first glance, I'd say my-AHR-ah. On second glance, I'd say MY-ar-ah, and I sort of like that better.I think it's really pretty. It's not one I'd use, but it includes several name elements I really like. I'd approve whole-heartedly of it in the BAs. :)Array

Hmm, I think I like the second syllable enunciated more so than the first syllable.Thanks Amy!

I think it's lovely. I'd prn it my-AR-ah or my-AR-uh. ;O) This isn't going to replace Mira, is it? I hope not. It's too bad you couldn't use both, but Mira & Maiara would be way to close for sibs, lol. Of course, Mirabelle & Maiara could work together, if you don't mind the alliteration. Of course, then the nns would be Mira & Mara. :o/Check Out Blinkyou.com for thousands of custom glitters and layouts

Haha, well I doubt that Maiara will replace Mira, and I wouldn't have a Mira & a Mara because if anything I would nickname Maiara "Maia" : )Thanks Korrine!

I'm mixed. Both pronunciations sound nice enough but I keep looking at the name and thinking there's a letter missing.

It could grow on me but when I first saw your post on the Facts board I read it as 'malaria' and now that's sticking in my head.I'd pronouce it as my-AH-rah (as I pronounce Maia as MY-a)
