^ it’s pronounced aaniyah in english too when its written out anya. how else would it be pronounced? AN-ya, like AN apple? cos that’s definitely not right.

its not just an arabic name, its also polish, and all the Anya’s i know, muslim or not, are pronounced Aaniyah.

All the Anya’s in the UK are AN-ya. We don’t unnecessarily lengthen our vowels.

I’m aware it exists in other languages which is my point exactly. When choosing a muslim name you need to be clear about its origin and meaning.. and that the version you have chosen has a good meaning.
