The name Thea

What do you think of the name Thea Millie? Both names to dedicate mine and Dh grandmothers. Our surname is a nice sounding simple name (my maiden name was bad so appreciate my married name)

Also for a boy we have decided on Isaiah David (definitely not everyone taste)

Love it! We've got a Thea in our family, pronounced Tay-uh

You've asked for opinions (you crazy lady!)
I'm confused by that comment..

Love Thea. Millie sounds like an old lady's name but she will be one day.

Isaiah David is perfect. love it

I love Thea. I am not sure about Millie though. Is Millicent an option? I think Thea Millicent flows better personally.

I like it, but I'd be cautious over Thea, simply because I think in many places (particularly in the UK), it will be pronounced "Fea".

Like Isaiah David too, although I prefer David Isaiah.

Love it!

I like it. I disagree with those who say it is easy to pronounce though. There are different pronunciations. I know two and they are both pronounced differently - Thee-uh (Greek) and Tay-Uh (French). How were you thinking you would pronounce it, OP?

I liked it until I heard someone say it as "fiiiurrr'

Marv1nGay3 · 15/01/2018 00:10

I love it!

I initially thought I really like it. Then as I started writing this I realised that in the wrong hands it just sounds like Fear, which isn't great.

I like it too.
Fairly unusual. Easy to pronounce if you see it written, and easy to spell if you hear it said. All good criteria for a name in my book. Smile

Love it!

DramaAlpaca · 14/01/2018 23:43

I'm not keen either. I find it lispy & insubstantial. Sorry. We just have different taste in names I guess.

I do love that the names honour both your grandmothers though, that's really sweet.

Love it. Sounds classic but not boring or old. Classy.
Love your boys name too. Smile

Don't like it. Makes me think of thawed out food.

Really pretty! And I like your boy's name too

Love it. Iā€™m a mum of a Thea šŸ˜€
