[name_f]Gaia[/name_f] is my favourite - I like the balance of the sounds - the harder ‘G’, the bright ‘eye’ sound and lighter ‘-a’ ending. And it has that floral and sunny feeling.

However, I’m not familiar with [name_f]Jaya[/name_f] - how is it pronounced?

[name_f]Gaia[/name_f] for sure! A gorgeous mythological name with a wonderful meaning. It’s sweet, girly, happy and powerful. It’s also a name of a beautiful city.

I like [name_f]Gaia[/name_f] better, though I haven’t heard [name_f]Jaya[/name_f] around much. Have you considered [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] or [name_f]Maia[/name_f]?

Me too. Why are you guys not familiar with Jaya? I guess it’s because you’re not South Asian. Either way Gaia is too Guy but if it’s Gay-a I love it

Also Jaya means Victory so it scores an extra point

I have a sweet spot for Gaia so that would be my personal first choice

But I also love that Jaya is more unique and less heard of while still being easy to pronounce

My name is spelt in probably the most unique variation of my name but I loved it growing up because I was always the only one
