Thea

COMomma81

I heard this the other day and I kind of love it. I'm pretty sure it's a nickname for Dorothea. 

Love it/Hate it/Take it or leave it? 

KrissyMiss

I like it! Could aslo be a nn for Theadora (sp?).

KearaD

I like it, too. But on its own -- I really don't like Dorothea/Dorothy. It always makes me think of the Golden Girls! Dorothy was a funny character, but she is the opposite of a cute little baby girl.

I used to babysit a girl named Thea.  They pronounced it Tay-ah.

I don't like it- two articles ( a and the) put together is what this language arts teacher thinks of. Plus it reminds me of Theo Huxtable.

I don't like how it sounds or looks

I knew someone with this name and it was short for Althea.  I like it.

MarxieVonTrapp

I like it.  It's pretty, not used often, and very feminine.

I am wondering how you plan on pronouncing it-- THEE- ah or TAY-ah.

It was the name of my freshman roommate. It's not a great association, but I do like the name. She pronounced it thee-uh

megemoney

Reminds me of Theo Huxtable.

I believe that while it can be used as a nickname, it's also a Scandinavian name by itself.  It's the name of the main character in one of my favorite books, Song of the Lark, by Willa Cather, so I really like it because of that association.

i think this is want my greek friends call their aunts. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's all I can think of.

I LOVE it- on its own, or as a nn for Dorothea or Theodora.

I like it! I think the baby in For Keeps was called Thea, I think the full name was Theadosia or something. But that's a sweet movie and Thea is a sweet name!

DS is Theodore so I think it's a little too masculine for my tastes.  I know that's kind of silly considering the Latin word can go either way.  I do like Dorothea.

lovebug33

Reminds me too much of the Spanish word for aunt, Tia.

Annie234567

It reminds me of the portly comedienne Thea Vidale.  I would have a hard time picturing it on anyone else.

alohamora

It's ok for me.  I like Talia better.

aimee1899

I really like it. One of my best friends chose it for her DD.

Like! Dorothea or Theodora perhaps.
