Baby Names? Maya?

Hola!

My husband and I are struggling with name ideas for our darling little girl......

We like Maya for a first name. Does anyone have any suggestions for a middle name that would sound good?

Our last name is Carpenter.

Janet

Hmm...

With your last name being three syllables and "Maya" being two, I think I'd go with a one-syllable middle name, just for "flow" and so her whole name isn't too long. How about "Maya Rose" or "Maya Grace"? Those are just what popped into my head -- I'll be interested to see what others suggest!

Maybe you could incorporate her birth name? Maya Grace is pretty. I also like Maya Elena because Elena is part of Bryce's middle name!

Awesome!

Wow! So many great suggestions......I like the idea of one syllable. I'll talk to my husband and I'll let you know what we decide. In the meantime, keep the ideas coming!

Maya Jane Carpenter?

Maya May Carpenter?

I think, that a middle name that starts with a vowel is hard to say because Maya ends in an "a."

I second the idea of using the birth name as her middle name.
