My name is Maiya, I have met one person with the name Maiya, people are always spelling and saying it wrong all the time. I have to keep correcting them all the time, it gets frustrating at times.
The'spelling is just very silly to me, like a young child was trying to figure out how to spell Carly. I personally find more traditional variations of the'spelling to be better.
