Sanee, ofcourse, the name MAYA in Nepal is purely Nepali..for example, there are plenty of MAYA, PHOOL MAYA, DHANA MAYA, SHYAM MAYA, RADHA MAYA, GEETA, SITA, RITA etc...but, I am just saying that MAYA is becoming too common of a name, and esp with kids of a nepali and non-nepali parents...just my 2 cents! I am sorry if your kid's name is MAYA and this is not the case..its been my expereince and may not be true to all..
