mary, or mare... mare kind of sounds like a horse. but i do like maya!
I love Maya. I also love Mari (MAU-ree). Either would be a great choice. Congratulations! TX Mom
Name the baby Maya (not Marija)...I'm just thinking about her school days. Try keeping the name as close to the real name and the most common spelling because eventhough you and I know how to pronounce it, others will probably pronounce the "J" in her name. It might hurt her feelings growing up in school...maybe not...but why try it if you're not sure? Ultimately, you need to do what you're comfortable with...I wish you the best of luck!
how bout Mari
I would assume Marija is pronounced like Mariah? Yes it it. Maya is the cutest name ever.
yea Maya, M, May May ( pronounced like maya), Mia :] lol
yes, it works
It is a good nickname but nicknames don't always come from your name! make them up have fun with making them! I have several and they don't resemble Erica nicknames: Eureeka Popcorn Speedbuggy
if it was me I would just use Mari
Sorry, but I personally think naming your child Marija is a bad idea. It looks very similar to a drug that is illegal to the US.
