How do you pronounce Mia?

KHFletcher

Mia is one of our top girl names but I want to make sure the majority of people won't mispronounce it.  (I have lived with my name horribly mispronounced my whole life).

Me-a or My-a?? 

mrs_tacos

My first instinct is me-a, but I have heard both.

carolinag

me-a

Ali-B

Mee-uh

I would probably say My-a.  But I've heard of Me-a, too.  If you don't want a hard-to-pronounce name, don't use MIA, IMO.

Mee-uh.  I've never heard anyone pronounce it differently. 

My-uh would be Maya/Maia or Mya.

Thanks!  I pronounce it Me-uh I just wanted to make sure people wouldn't try to pronounce it My-uh.

There is only one pronunciation for this name, MEE-ah.

I would say Me-a.  I would say My-a if it was spelled Mya!

MrsJJC

Me-a for sure. ?Mya sounds like "My-a"

marriedchick06

Mee-uh

newportbride715

It's ME-a.I love it!

If someone is saying My-a, they have chosen the wrong spelling, imo!

JoyGotDots

Me-a.  I have never heard of anyone saying it as My-a.

My-uh would be Maya/Maia or Mya.

exactly. I'm completely bewildered when people ask this because it's always been so obvious to me. I have seen it mentioned a few times, but ONLY on this site. No one IRL has ever mentioned anything.. (I have a ton of friends who are currently PG w/ #2 so we talk baby names a lot

houndbaby

Me-a

macchiatto

Definitely Me-a.

My-a makes no sense to me; Maya or Maia (or even Mya, though I find that confusing) would be better spellings for that pronunciation.

high_hopes

Mee-a.

This.  Mia is not a difficult name. At all. The only easier name to pronounce would be Sam or Ben. *sigh*

LoriFalce

Mee-ah = Mia

My-uh = Maya, Maia, or Mya

I can't see it getting mispronounced often, although I can see people asking which way it is pronounced.
