I'd pronounce it as someone else said -the beginning of Theatre.

Friends daughter is Tay-ah spelt Taya, but...

LublinToDublin · 29/10/2021 19:52

I'd pronounce it like you OP
But be aware it might be taya. Weirdly I wouldn't have considered teeya

ScrambledSmegs · 29/10/2021 19:51

Thee-ah.

SheWoreYellow · 29/10/2021 19:51

Thee ah

Tay a would be a non uk pronunciation.

purplesequins · 29/10/2021 19:50

tay-ah

EdgeOfTheSky · 29/10/2021 19:49

Either Th ee uh
Or
Taya

If in the UK of Brit parents, more likely the first.

iwishiwasafish · 29/10/2021 19:49

Tay-ah

HunterHearstHelmsley · 29/10/2021 19:48

An "ah" not "an".

HunterHearstHelmsley · 29/10/2021 19:48

Like Theo with an "an" at the end instead.

willieversleep · 29/10/2021 19:46

I have a thee-ah

GiltEdges · 29/10/2021 19:45

I'd have said Tay-uh

PlainJane1000 · 29/10/2021 19:44

I know two who are both thee-a.

TheGriffle · 29/10/2021 19:44

Like the first half of Theatre

Mendingfences · 29/10/2021 19:44

Tey a where i live outside the uk

AuditAngel · 29/10/2021 19:43

I know one who’s a Tay-uh

MajorCarolDanvers · 29/10/2021 19:42

Thee-ah

PanicBuyingSprouts · 29/10/2021 19:42

I would pronounce it the same way as you.

Does your DH have firm for mispronouncing names?

Newmummy9 · 29/10/2021 19:40

I would pronounce it like you, although I’ve also heard it pronounced like your husband says it.

DoleWhipFloat · 29/10/2021 19:40

I pronounce it thee-ah.

Pinkchocolate · 29/10/2021 19:40

The first one Th-ee-a
