Theadosia Pronunciation

Thoughts on Theadosia:
Thumbs up. Thumbs down.

Theados(like a dose of medicine)A
Theadoz(like dozing)A
TheadosYA
TheadozYA

I like Theados(like a dose of medicine)A but worried others would pronounce it wrong.

If I saw that written down I would guess either Thea-dose-sha or Thea-dos-ee-ah (to rhyme with Maria)

Thumbs down from me, sorry!

Wouldn't be comfortable using a name I'd only ever seen written down.

Isn’t it Theodosia, not Theadosia?

Either 3 or 4. If you want Theados(like a dose of medicine)A take the "i" out, although people may still get it wrong if they're Hamilton fans.

yup. I googled Theodosia and it straight away came up with Theodosia, Aaron Burr's daughter
