How do you pronounce Amaya? Like a-MA-ya or a-MI-ya

I'm not sure of the correct way but I would pronounce it...

Uh-MY-uh (I think it's the same as your 2nd choice)

(Very pretty!)

I would say it ah-MY-ah. In my own little head, I would think that most people would pronounce it that way. But I can tell you that my name is Theresa (same as Teresa) and I have had SEVERAL people throughout my life actually say it as TH-eresa. Weird, I know.

I do love the name though. What middle name were you thinking?

Theresa
