In Hebrew it means ‘God’s Gift’ I’ve really have fallen in love with this name!
[name]How[/name] would you pronounce it? (un-aye-uh) or (ah-Ni- ah)

[i][name]Anaya[/name] [name]Brooke[/name] / [name]Brooklyn[/name]
[name]Anaya[/name] [name]Breana[/name] / [name]Brielle[/name]
[name]Anaya[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Anaya[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Anaya[/name] [name]Lilian[/name]
[name]Anaya[/name] [name]Gabrielle[/name]
[name]Anaya[/name] [name]Janelle[/name]

Anyone’s opinions on the best combination, and pronunciation! That would be amazing guys!

I know of an [name]Anaya[/name] and she pronounced it A-nay-uh and I think particular here in the UK this would be the most commom pronunciation (closest to Un-aya-uh, I guess).

[name]Anaya[/name] [name]Gabrielle[/name] looks the best! I wouldn’t do another name ending in the same ‘a’ sound, so my second vote would go to [name]Anaya[/name] [name]Lilian[/name].

That’s my boyfriend’s choice. He loves the name [name]Gabrielle[/name]. Obsessed with it really.

I’ve known a few Anayas, all pronounced it un-EYE-uh. I’d never think to pronounce it uh-nee-uh or uh-nay-uh. To me, it’s an okay name. I don’t see anything wrong with it, but it doesn’t stand out. It blends in with names like [name]Maya[/name], [name]Kaia[/name], [name]Amaya[/name], [name]Alaia[/name], [name]Aaliyah[/name], [name]Aleah[/name], etc.
I really like [name]Sophia[/name] and [name]Gabrielle[/name] in the middle.

This spelling isn’t common which I really love.
It’s hard to choose the middle so many options

[name]Anaya[/name] [name]Gabrielle[/name] is beautiful. I would definitely pronounce it un-eye-uh

I would pronounce it un-EYE-uh for sure. [name]Anaya[/name] [name]Lilian[/name] is my favorite combo, but [name]Anaya[/name] [name]Gabrielle[/name] is pretty too. I’m also a big fan of [name]Amaya[/name].

I would pronounce it un-aye-ah

nj003 · November 5, 2012, 1:10pm

I agree with [name]Anaya[/name] [name]Gabrielle[/name] because I’m not really a fan of the double ‘-a’ endings. Also, the only [name]Anaya[/name] I know pronounces hers as ‘uh-nay-uh’.

I would pronounce it uh-NEYE-uh. [name]Lovely[/name], though a bit repetitive. [name]Just[/name] a personal preference thing as far as that goes!
