While I was pregnant my partner and I could n't agree on a name for our son. He had soooo many! I decided to research Kingly names as my two other'sons names are kingly. Cadeyrn means battle king in Gaelic but the'spelling put me off so we shortened it to Caden. Beautiful name for a beatiful boy:)

probably because it is pronounced "Asia". Perhaps you should spend less time on the internet and more time listing to Steely Dan.

My name is Aja and It's pronounced like (ah)for the "a" and (zsha) for the "ja." Also, my name is always mispronounced as Asia. I have an apostrophe before my name (A'ja) but I think the apostrophe looks weird so I don't use it. Otherwise I love my name and It's originality.

My name is Aja.Pronounced (O'sha) with the "J" being silent. Most people pronounce my name as Asia. Out of 20 people 1 will pronounce it correct. And when its time to spell it don't even'think about it. One time i was actually in a shoe store and i was ready to check out but there was no cashier'so i called the manager over and she'started screaming AjA, Aja, this lady is ready to check out. Her name was spelled the'same way and pronounced the'same way. And she was also my age. It kind of freaked me out. But its good to know that there's more people in the'same world as me with my unique name.

My name is aja and it is pronounced a-ja . Everyone says asia though. I like my name. No one in my town is called Aja. My dad when he was 16 decided that if he ever had a daughter he would call her Aja because he loves Steely Dan.

My name is Aja and I wasn't named after the'steely Dan album. And It's not pronounced like Asia. Its au like in autumn and Zsa like Zsa Zsa Gabor. (au-zsa) I was born in 83 and my mom got my name from the'soap opera Search for Tomorrow. Although the the tv show was on for years, the character I was named after was only on there a short period of time. No one pronounces my name correctly... Most people don't even'try. I work in a retail store and its just annoying bc I have to wear a name tag and I get asked ALOT. Usual questions I get.... Were your parents steely Dan fans❤️ Is that your initials❤️ What's that'short for❤️ I'd probably like my name more if I didn't get so many questions about it.
