We know we want to name her Daja Renae but don’t know how to spell her first name . Should we spell it “Daja” or “Deja”?

Depends how you want it pronounced. I read both of those as written, the a and e being different

i mean how would you pronounce it? coming from someone who speaks french the pronounciation of deja is completely different than daja

Dee-ja and Day-ja is how I pronounce the two

Deja looks prettier as a girls name 💖

I had a friend when I was little and she spelled it Deja (I moved away and lost touch! Maybe I should try to find her online!) congrats!

As a Dejonae I say Deja

I clicked Daja but after commented I change my mind! 🤣 Deja, love your name x

I can't help but read Deja vu so voted Daja

Daijah Renee

Is the first sound supposed to be dah or day? The first one is pronounced “dah-ja” the second one is “day-ja” so it depends on what name you’re trying to have going on.

Daja = Daw-Zha
Deja = Day-Zha

I personally prefer Deja for spelling and pronunciation

Avatar

It’s supposed to be pronounced like Deja by but the dad wants to spell her name with A

Avatar

@Jasmine, I still don't understand how it's meant to be pronounced.

Avatar

if you’re gonna do an A I vote for AI
Otherwise Deja

Deja vu is the way it’s supposed to be pronounced. I didn’t catch the typo. My mistake

Avatar

@Jasmine, oh lol, that makes more sense.

I'd go with Deja for that pronunciation 😊

Could maybe do Daija for same pronunciation as Deja if you prefer an a in the middle. Without the i, I'd pronounce Daja like previous posters as Dah-Jah.
