    May she obtain welfare and happiness and grow in Buddha's dispensation,
    Without disease and happy may she be, together with all her relatives.

Excellent! Sadhu!

Congratulations!

What a great name! The best part about that name is that it is Buddhist (Maha-Maya-devi, Buddha's mother) and still very Western and modern.
