What People Are Saying
Kaiya, a girl's name
(Sat, Sep 04, 2010)
"My daughter "Kaiya" was born August 12, 2009. I wanted something different but couldn't find a girl name I really loved. Before deciding on "Kaiya" she was going to be named "Payton" because everyone else liked it. A few days before I was due my grandma was watching the news. Micheal Jackson had just passed so he was the big story still. His cook was named "Kaia". My grandma said she liked the name, so I was like I kinda like it too. It seemed unusual but not too out there.
I have since found it is more popular than I had imagined. Some people pronouche it Kay-uh, or ask how do you say it. Then others who are familar with the "AI" sound pronouce it just fine. It is hit or miss with people. You just have to be patient with people and spell the name often.
I really decided on this name because I looked up the name "KYA" also prounuced like "Kaiya" and it meant "diamond in the sky". This sold me on the name.
The spelling I came up with it after someone told me about the movie "Willow". Actually in the credits though they spell "KAIYA" with "I" before "A" (KIAYA). However, I didn't want people to pronounce her name like the car "KIA". After futher research of the hawaiian spelling of "KY" being "KAI" I decided this was the best spelling (KAIYA). I don't know if my daughter will like the name we shall see. I love it though!! Her nick name is just "KAI" for short but I call her both. Oh yeah her middle name is "Nicole" (After her aunt). I love the way it flows "Kaiya Nicole". Sometimes I call her that too just for fun. :)"
