How would you say these names?

Girl Names

Out of curiosity, would you pronounce these spellings as “ah-MEE-ah” or “ah-MY-ah” or something else?

[name_f]Amiya[/name_f]
[name_f]Amiah[/name_f]
Ameya

2

[name_f]Amiya[/name_f]: uh-MEE-uh or uh-MY-uh
(I would hesitate and check with the bearer)

[name_f]Amiah[/name_f]: uh-MY-uh

Ameya: uh-[name_f]MAY[/name_f]-uh

3

First two are ah-MY-ah, third I’d probably say ah-[name_f]MAY[/name_f]-ah

4

I would pronounce the first ah-MEE-yah, the second ah-MY-ah and the last ah-[name_f]MAY[/name_f]-ah l.

Interesting. Thanks for your responses!

I have always assumed all three are…

  1. ah-MEE-yah
  2. ah-MEE-ah
  3. ah-MEE-yah
6

(In my accent, things meant to be -ah are -uh. Bit annoying, really.)

[name_f]Amiya[/name_f] - uh-MEE-uh OR uh-MY-uh
[name_f]Amiah[/name_f] - uh-MY-uh
Ameya - uh-[name_f]MAY[/name_f]-uh

7

Amiya: uh-MY-yuh
Amiah: uh-MY-uh

Ameya: uh-[name_f]MAY[/name_f]-yuh

8

[name_f]Amiya[/name_f] (Uh - me - uh) I like it.
[name_f]Amiah[/name_f] (Uh - my - uh) [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like it as much.
Ameya (Uh - may - uh) Cool. Second fav

9

[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t know the correct pronunciation so this is just my instinct…

[name_f]Amiya[/name_f] - uh-mee-yah
[name_f]Amiah[/name_f] - uh-my-ah
Ameya - uh-may-ah

10

[name_f]Amiya[/name_f]: uh-mee-uh
[name_f]Amiah[/name_f]: uh-my-uh
Ameya: uh-may-uh

11

I’d pronounce them the same way as island moon.

12

[name_f]Amiya[/name_f] - [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-MEE-ya
[name_f]Amiah[/name_f] - [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-MY-uh
Ameya - [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-[name_f]MAY[/name_f]-uh

13

[name_f]Amiya[/name_f]: ah-MEE-yah
[name_f]Amiah[/name_f]: ah-MEE-ah
Ameya: ah-[name_f]MAY[/name_f]-uh

14

I would assume they are all uh-MY-uh, but I wouldn’t be confused if they were pronounced uh-ME-uh

15

Immediate assumption for each would be:

[name_f]Amiya[/name_f] - uh-MIE-uh (like “uh [name_f]Maya[/name_f]”) (emphasis on second syllable)
[name_f]Amiah[/name_f] - [name_m]AH[/name_m]-mee-uh (emphasis on first syllable)
Ameya - uh-[name_f]MAY[/name_f]-uh ([name_f]May[/name_f] like the month, rhymes with [name_f]Freya[/name_f]) (emphasis on second syllable)

16

Uh-me-yuh
Uh-me-uh
Uh-may-yuh

17

The first two uh-MY-uh and the last one uh-[name_f]MAY[/name_f]-uh.

18

[name_f]Amiya[/name_f] - ah-my-ya

[name_f]Amiah[/name_f] - ah-my-a

Ameya - ah-may-a

19

[name_f]Amiya[/name_f]- ah-ME-ah
[name_f]Amiah[/name_f]- ah-ME-ah or AM-ia
Ameya- [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-[name_f]MAY[/name_f]-ah

  1. uh-MY-uh
