About the name Maya in Korean
Maya is already close to Korean: 마야 (Ma-ya) has two open beats, so little changes. The real choice is among the matches, and how each one will be spelled. Passports use Revised Romanization, but people choose whether to write Mi-yu, Miyu or Mi Yu, so keep one spelling everywhere. 민아 (敏雅, Min-a) keeps the 'm' opening and the final 아, and it has a quick, clear, polished feel. 미유 (美柔, Mi-yu) starts with the same 'm', glides into 유 like the 'ya' of Maya, and is the softest and warmest of the three. 예아 (睿雅, Ye-a) has the 'ya' glide at the end but a different opening, which makes it the loosest match. Its feel is wise and gentle. All three are two syllables, like the original, so any of them will feel balanced beside it.
