Talia

mamakculb · January 2016

So I've been back and forth on this board for my baby girl's name so many times it's ridiculous. Last time I was given the great suggestion of Talia and Hubby and I really think it's our top contender. I just have a few more questions to ask you wonderful ladies about the name.

One-how do you think this name should be spelled? I've had a few people mention Thalia or Tahlia or even Talya as alternative spellings. Which is correct in your mind?

Two-how about pronunciation. Would you pronounce it Tall-e-uh or Tall-ya?

Any other comments about the name?

Thanks ladies!

I pronounce it "tall-ya" and I would spell it Talia. I like this name a lot. It's very pretty!

This. Love it.

Tall-ya. It's a pretty name.

I like it a lot. My first inclination is to spell it Thalia, just because I knew a girl that spelled it that way. But I think talia works too. Definitely not talya. I pronounce it tall-ya.

I think I'm the minority, but at first glance I pronounced it tall-e-ya.

Love this name! Its one of my favorites but DH isn't a huge fan.

One of my daughters name is Natalia. I always call her Talia for short. Which I pronounce tal-lee-uh. Thalia I would pronounce thow-lee-ya. Lol I'm bad at that.

Very nice! I pronounce it Tall-e-uh. I would spell it Talia. Definitely not Thalia unless you want people pronouncing it with the 'th' sound at the beginning

Talia is tal-ee-uh. Not tall like the height of a tree.
I like it.

LizaKate1213 · January 2016

Definitely Tal-ee-yuh and spelled Talia. No need to complicate the spelling!

This. I think no matter how you spell it people are going to get it wrong though.

I would spell it Talia. I love it but always have pronounced it Tal-ee-uh, not Tall. I think I sort of say it in between 2 and 3 syllables.

Tall-e-uh. Pretty name.

I grew up with a girl named Talia and it was pronounced Tal (rhymes with pal)-ya.

I've only known one person with this name, and she spelled it "Talya," so that seems the most correct to me, although I feel like Talia is a fine option as well. I pronounce those two as "Tal-yah" but would pronounce Thalia as "Ta-lee-uh." Tahlia looks like a hot mess, IMO (no idea if it's legitimate or not).

virginiaunicorn11 · January 2016

I grew up with a Talia, "tall-ya" and have always loved it.

midge519 · January 2016

I know a Thalia and it's pronounced Ta-lee-uh. I would pronounce Talia like Tahl-ya

KellyAnn911 · January 2016

I've always pronounced it Tal-ee-uh. Tal-ya sounds like someone pronouncing it with a southern accent. Kind of like when people pronounce Julia like jool-ya instead of joo-lee-uh.

Anywhoo, I think it looks prettier and more complete as Thalia.

mb0112 · January 2016

I like your spelling Talia and I'd pronounce tal-ee-yuh

groovylocks · January 2016

Yess tall-ya. Talia is how i know it. It's lovely.

klirwin82 · January 2016

An in-law of mine spells her name Taliah and pronounces it "tall-ee-yuh". So at first I thought Talia would be pronounced that way but the longer I look at it I'm seeing how it's short for Natalia and could be pronounced that way.

mj8215 · January 2016

It's an Israeli name, in it's own right, not a short form of Natalia (although you could shorten Natalia in that way if you wanted to I guess). It's beautiful!
