Would you consider the name Thea to be trendy?
I think is has a kind of classic ring to it, but just wondering what people think who aren't as partial as I am.
I was shocked to see this post because my first name is Thea and I've never met another Thea in my life. I pronounce my name like Thea in "Thea-ter". I often get compliments on my name. People stating that it's pretty and unique. Never had someone go "what the heck, Thea?!" I love my name and am proud of how unique it is. I also must mention that I am half Greek too, so usually all Greeks and close nationalities can point out half my nationality. I will tell you, that it can be extremely frustrating sometimes with the miss-pronunciation of my name. (But that could just be a pet peeve ;-) ) I would say it's classic, not trendy.

I pronounce it the same way, and actually am not fond of it pronounced the other way. I think this will be the perfect name for us though, so if occasional mispronunciation is the price, then I'm okay with that. I thank you for your input. It's nice to hear from someone who has the name and that you really love it. Hopefully our DD will feel the same way!
