pure, tough, flower, rejoicing, stay and don't go back, beautiful and little but wise. also if people say about it being the slang name for weed then thats okay because weed is a drug that makes you high so us kaya's are happy" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 06, 2010: "My name is Kaya and I'm 14 years old. I live in Europe and in my country, this name is pretty popular. I've been talking to a lot of people from U.S. and even though some of them never really heard of the name, they didn't ask about it much. My name there is unique and I guess that's what even atracts other people. I used to hate my name, that my brother chose it for me, because else my mother would name me something like Gloria. But now, I actually love my name, 'cause it makes me quite unique." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 06, 2010: "My name is Kaya and lam 27 years old..Its funny how l used to hate my name growing up because in my country it means "l don't know" and people will always make fun of it and in Zimbabwe where my father is originally from people used to spell it as "Khaya" and l didn't like it because just adding the "h" in it gave it a whole different meaning altogether i.e "home" in Ndebele a Zimbabwean language.But when l moved to the USA l got all sorts of pronounciations and spellings of my name and l still up to this day have to correct people.l then looked up the meanings of Kaya and that made me love my beautiful unique name and everywhere l go now and tell people my name they love it and l love it..."

Comment left Feb 02, 2010: "My oldest daughter's name is Kaya Marie. We pronounce it Kay - ah. We love it!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 07, 2010: "My oldest is named Kaya... she is now 10. We always says it rhymes with "Hi ya" ;)
We had stumbled on the name as a Hopi name meaning Elder Sister. And it seemed really right. Now I have two children and she is the best big sister I could have asked for (my youngest has special needs and Kaya goes above and beyond for her sis)
Very often people will pronounce is Kay-ah. She just rolls her eyes and ignores them til they say it right...trying to break her of that. ;)
Oddly when she was 4 years old American Girl introduced a Kaya doll also Native American but Nez Perce.
Kind of cool." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 07, 2009: "I absolutly LOVE the name Kaya! But reading these comments, I think I've been pronouncing it incorrectly. I pronounce it Kay-ah. And many people seem to be using it as Ki-ah. I personally prefer the way I spell it and shall hopefully be calling my first daughter Kaya Louise (After my sister Ellie Louise) Or Kaya Marie simply because I like the name!!! My second daughter (I hope to have at least 2 girls!) Shall hopefully be called Mia. Mia Grace :D" (Report as inappropriate)

My boyfriend liked the name kaya (hes a huge bob marley fan) and i also thought it was a cute girls name. But we wanted something different than just Kaya, so I added the 'Ni' to the beginning. She'll go by Nikaya, Kaya, or Nikki. all depending on what people can remember haha! and yes, i know its a slang for weed. but really, what isnt a slang for weed? haha" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left May 01, 2009: "Kaya is the name of my dog. She is an American Staffordshire Pit Bull. She is so loving and gentle and has been a wonderful pet. She loves when I play the Bob Marley song Kaya and dances very happily when I sing it. She is also well liked "in her neighborhood" and receives gifts at Christmas time from our neighbors. Kaya is a great name. For a woman, young girl, or dog. By the way I bought her from a man named Kiah ironically." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 29, 2009: "I like the name Kaya... It's really common in my country though." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 30, 2009: "My name is Kaya, im 16 and i love my name. I have met one other person in my life with the same name, and i know of the actress Kaya Scodelario. My mother got the name from the Bob Marely alubm & song. She wasnt 100% sure it was slang for weed, she liked to think of the meaning more as 'a good feeling'. Not too long ago she met someone who told her it was infact slang for weed, but she didnt name me for that intention. It does often get mispronounced or misspelt but it doesnt bother me. Its diverse, i like all the different meanings and i when i found out that it was slang for weed, i found it hilarious lol." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 20, 2009: "My name is Kaya. I hated it growing up (I am 27) because people ALWAYS pronounce and spell it wrong. I was Kayla, Kay-a, Kyra, Kyla (where people get these extra letters....). Now I really like it. I don't have to worry about working somewhere or having five friends with the same name - you just get used to correcting people and having them say, "oh, how pretty"" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 09, 2009: "we are expecting our first child in june 09 and yes we are naming her kaya after the album, if we was having a boy them marley was the name. i have chose this because the man has been very massive influence in my life, and no i dont smoke weed." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 01, 2009: "my daughter is 12 years old and is called kaya but we spell it kiah. didn't know it was slang for weed or that it was a bob marley song.even though my dad is a big bob marley fan." (Report as inappropriate)
