I picked out a name for a girl, and wanted to see how you would pronounce it if you just see it written.?

Question

The name is Asiya. Please write out the way you would pronounce it. For example, Fatima: fa teem ah. Thank you !!!

Answer 1

ah sea uh

But that's not fair, because I speak a little bit of Arabic and I know at least 3 different people with that name. Some other spellings I've seen: Asia, Aciya, can't actually remember any more. Personally, I like the Aciya spelling, but that might be because she was my friend, whereas the person I knew who spelled it 'Asiya' was a teacher who called my parents nearly every other class and attempted to suspend me on the second to last day of school. With Asia, I think people would just prounounce it like the country.

Answer 2

I think a lot of people are going to confuse it with Asia the continent, especially as I have heard Asia used as a girl's name. However, it's a beautiful name, and easy to pronounce once corrected, so go for it!

Answer 3

Hello Bismilla, it depends where you go with your name.In Finland we would pronounce it ah-see y-ah and it resembles the Finnish word for thing/matter= asia, a totally neutral word but never a name.(The continent Asia is Aasia in Finnish with a long aah in the beginning)
So -where do you want to use your name -it depends!

Answer 4

[Aah - see - yaah] I like the name Asiya! I think you really are a very caring father. How many fathers would want to make sure his child's name is perfect. Good job with your daddy work. I bet ur child would be proud of you.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 8

[a:si:ya] and the stress on the last syllable. It sounds Asian for me, as i know couple girls with this name from Asia
