Thoughts on the name Taya for a girl?

Middle name would be Louise

I prefer Téa.

Very pretty. Taya is a variant of Thea isn’t it? (because afaik Thea in parts of Europe can be pronounced “Tay-ah”, just like Theo can be “Tay -oh”) . But while I generally hate spelling changes, I do think your spelling makes the pronunciation you want clearer. Or at least it does to me, but clearly some pp feel differently 🤣. I do prefer the look of similar Theia (“Thay-ah”) but that’s just personal taste.

I love it. It’s non offensive and not too common.

I love it. Pretty unusual but not weird. Perfect imo.

I think it's fine. Not for me, but I've heard much worse. I think it's one of those that you wouldn't really think about either way.

I like it! Is it said Taya or Tie-a? Lovely either way and so unusual.

My oldest daughter (9) is Taya and I absolutely loved it from the moment I first heard it. We’ve only ever met a couple of other Tayas and most of them are spelt differently.

Awful. Is it Tay-a or Ta-ya? Louise is nice but a filler middle name.
