The Blessed Lisp

I was having a conversation with my 3.5 year old cousin last weekend. I was just talking to her if she has any friends, etc. While she was telling their names, this happened:

Hira: Aik aur hai, uss ka naam hai Zaya
Me:
(finding it a little strange name) Zaya?
Hira: haan Zaya
Me: (still not convinced that i heard it right, i asked again) Zaya ?!? yeh kaisa naam hua?
Hira: (a little not happy with me not getting it) Zaya hai na ... ZAYA
Me: (i thought a little about the name) acha Zara ?!?
Hira: (replied calmly) haan Zaya...
