So while on our cruise there was a young woman who was from India named Avaia, and I absolutely fell in love with it! It's pronounced uh-vay-uh but the traditional spelling looks like it would be a bit confusing. So would changing the spelling to Avaya or Avayah be any better? Or would it be best to keep the original Hindu spelling?

I kinda like Avaya best, but I think "uh-vye-uh" like rhyming with try rather than Avaya making me think "uh-VAY-uh". But I like how Avaia looks... hm! I definitely don't care for Avayah with the H though.
