How would you pronounce the name Nava?

Question

Accepted Answer

Neither - “Nah-Vah” (like Lava)

Answer

Definitely NAH-va
I think a lot of people voted for Nayva just because they couldn’t vote for Nuh since there’s no way it could be nuh (turning an a into the uh sound really only happens on non-accented syllables).
Maybe worth redoing the poll as NAH-va vs NAY-va?

Answer

Like the first part of the word “Navajo”

Answer

I would pronounce it Nah-Vah. Weird name either way 😏
