Thoughts on the girls name Talia?

[Minniebrown]

It would be Talia Brown..

I have a friend called Talia (it's actually her birthday today). Lovely person, lovely name

I know the name but spelt Thalia (still pronounced Talia as in Nathalia). The spelling 'th' is probably more middle class if you're worried about that sort of thing. I think it's a very pretty sound for a girls name.

I prefer it spelled Thalia (but pronounced the same as Talia), but Talia is nice too.

I have a baby Talia :) I wish we had used the Thalia spelling though

Oh I think it's pretty.
But stick with the spelling Talia rather that Thalia.

I prefer Talia to Thalia. I also think Thalitha is lovely

It's a lovely name.

It's lovely.

I like it but would spell it Thalia.

Another vote for Thalia, but it's a beautiful name!

I know a few Thalia's through work, it's a good-sounding name for clever and "serious" jobs IMO!

Beautiful name, not heard often but not too unusual either. Perfect.

I know a Thalia who goes by Tilly. It's a nice name

Love it. Was on my shortlist for DD but dp vetoed ????it just sounds so nice to the ear.

I know a Thalija- think it's horrid!
Talia/Thalia much nicer

Talia is Hebrew, Thalia is Greek.

I think Talia Brown sounds great. Simple but interesting.

I also like Thalia, but the pronunciation is slightly debatable, which is a PITA if you're having to correct it all the time anyway. It's not inarguably a hard T, like Thomas; I've also heard it as Tha-leah and Tha-liah (soft Th). Obviously you pick one and stick with it, but it must get bloody annoying when people explain you're pronouncing your own name wrong.*

[*just read Caitlin Moran complaining about this.]

I like Talia - but that's because I know one and she is lovely.

I also prefer the spelling that way rather than with an h.

Very pretty. The Talia spelling doesn't look as clunky.

Love it! It was on our shortlist for DD2 (so was Zara funnily enough!). I prefer the Talia spelling myself as I think it's more likely to be spelt correctly, as I've come across a few different placements of the 'h'. Another friend had her DD a few days before DD2 arrived and named her Tahlia. So I was glad we'd already decided on a different name for our baby!

I love the name Talia and definitely prefer it spelt Talia not Thalia. In my opinion it looks prettier spelt that way and it easier to pronounce correctly.

Agree with a PP that Talia is Hebrew while Thalia is Greek. The pronunciation of Talia is more straightforward while the pronunciation of Thalia is contentious. Thalia in Greek myth is "tha-lee-ah", not "tah-lee-ah".

I like Talia, and would spell it this way for simplicity.

Baby Talia would be two by now!

I've just discovered this name recently. I think it's gorgeous.

Talia spelling is nicer.
