How would you pronounce this name?

Taiya?

Just saw it on FB and wondered. Tay-uh? Tie-uh?

I kind of think it sounds pretty if it's pronounced Tay-uh, but I like the spelling Tea-like Tea Leoni.

    I think people are trying to make Tea Leoni's name look less like a hot beverage.  I don't think they were successful, though.  It just looks odd.

    Tie-yah

    If you are going for "Tay-uh" I went to elementary school with a girl named this, spelled Teya.

    My first thought is Tay-uh, but it could be either way. Maybe Tai=Ty.

    Definately pronounced Tay-uh. I know a few people who have this name on their short list for DD. I think it's different, I am not totally sold, but don't hate it.
