It is my opinion that it should be pronounced May-ah. Since all words with 'ai' in the english language make an 'ay' sound, why would this be any different?
ie rain, stain, pain, main - then change the 'n' to an 'a' and you get maia (pronounced may-ah). Many people pronounce it as my-ah and I don't understand why they read it like that... 'ai' = 'ay' not 'eye' in the English language...
Please see this exerpt from The Pronounciation of English Consonants and Vowels by M. Ansell

Granted it may be different in other languages...
