I know two little tayas, I think one spells it differently tho. I like it.

Thalia is a name I like as well, but as we have a Theo I didn't want another 't' name.

bananaramma · 07/06/2013 13:14

I much prefer Tanya!

peanutsandwich · 07/06/2013 13:32

Sounds like a made up name, but not offensive.

Turniptwirl · 07/06/2013 14:24

I like it and also Thalia

Turniptwirl · 07/06/2013 14:25

Oh and thea

I have an elderly close relative called Thalia, pronounced Thaylia. She has hated it all her life because sometimes it's misheard & pronounced like "failure".

Taya is nice though.

JazzAnnNonMouse · 07/06/2013 20:14

Taya is ok, sounds like Taylor thought which I'm not at all keen on.

burberryqueen · 07/06/2013 20:17

Taya is a nice name, I know one whose mum originally spelt it Thea but changed it as people thought it was Thee-a

LanternGirl · 07/06/2013 20:19

Not keen tbh. Does look made up (even if not!) and a bit clunky/ugly. Sorry!

Like but not love.

squeak2392 · 08/06/2013 20:02

I assume it's pn Tay-a.
I do like it but I much prefer the spelling Téa (although some people will read that as Tea.

DonDrapersAltrEgoBigglesDraper · 08/06/2013 21:09

Not to my taste.

I know a Taija (pn Tie-a); think it's Scandanavian.

MustafaCake · 08/06/2013 21:14

Sounds made up.

BlueStarsAtNight · 08/06/2013 21:29

Sounds a bit trying-too-hard-to-come-up-with-a-unique-name to me.

marriednotdead · 08/06/2013 21:34

I assumed it was an African name, thinking of Tayo.

SugarMouse1 · 09/06/2013 10:13

Sorry, Taya is a bit chavvy, very R'n'B, gangsta type name.

I do like Tea, though, with the accent I think its an Eastern European name of some sort, I met a man who said that was his sisters name.

I know of a Taia-Faye and that's just awful, IMO

May also be mistaken for Taylor a lot.

FetaCheeny · 09/06/2013 16:38

I like it

MrsMangoBiscuit · 09/06/2013 16:46

DH and I agreed years ago that when we are finally able to get a dog, she will be called Taya. Grin

I have a friend whose dd is tehya. It really suits her tbh it does grow on you.

picnicbasketcase · 09/06/2013 16:57

I really like it. I considered it for a while when pg with what turned out to be DS.

usualsuspect · 09/06/2013 17:01

I like it very much.

ShadeofViolet · 09/06/2013 17:03

I knew a Taya at school, we called her Potayta.

God we were such bitches Blush

forevergreek · 09/06/2013 17:09

Thalia isn't usually thay-le-a (failure) though. It's tar-le-a or Tay-le-a depending on location.
