What's your thoughts?

We are still TTC but have a deal that if lucky I pick a boys name DP picks the girl

I used to like it but now we are actually TTC I've gone completely off it lol.

Is it pronounced Tar-lia or Ta-lia?

Not that keen.

JohnLapsleyParlabane · 08/01/2017 19:07

I have a cousin Talia. Gorgeous name.

Ilovecaindingle · 08/01/2017 19:07

Natalia is nicer.

Trills · 08/01/2017 19:07

I like it.

I would spell the two pronunciation options as
tah-lia
tay-lia

And if I saw the name I would assume it was tah-lia.

Have loved this name for a long time, a nick name for my friend. It's unusual but not weird enough to be a cause for bullying/poss taking. Also I think it sounds nice with lots of surnames so when/of she gets married and takes another surname for example. Smile

321zerobaby · 08/01/2017 19:08

I really like it, unusual but not daft. I know a Natalia, but think I prefer Talia.

OnNaturesCourse · 08/01/2017 19:13

I'm definitely not keen on Natalia Confused

My favourite girls name is Rosalie

It's a lovely name!
Rose would be a nice middle name if you were going for one.

Freeatlast2017 · 08/01/2017 19:17

I think it's really lovely. I only know one aged 13.

MrsExpo · 08/01/2017 19:18

I have Greek friend called Thalia (with an h) pronounced with a hard T not a th sound. Lovely name and she's a lovely person. Gfi ...

divinemintthins · 08/01/2017 19:20

It was my second choice and I think it is lovely - was going to use Thalia spelling.

divinemintthins · 08/01/2017 19:22

X post with Mrs. I prefer the Greek spelling. I think Talia is Hebrew.

Trills · 08/01/2017 19:25

Isn't Talia the original name of Sleeping Beauty?

OnNaturesCourse · 08/01/2017 19:32

ooo thrills I'm not sure... that could sway me however!

Sophronia · 08/01/2017 19:38

I like it, prefer Thalia pronounced the same way though

BetweenTwoLungs · 08/01/2017 19:41

I taught one a while ago, I quite liked it.

Pluto30 · 08/01/2017 19:46

I was bullied by a girl named Tahlia (this spelling), so I have an irrational dislike for it.

I know a little girl named just Tahli and I like that more.

ferriswheel · 08/01/2017 19:47

I know a really lovely Thalia.

TobleroneBoo · 08/01/2017 19:51

I love it ( biased) but most people will
Say Tarlia

ineedamoreadultieradult · 08/01/2017 19:53

I prefer the Thaila spelling.

JenTeale · 08/01/2017 19:53

I know a Tahlia, I think it's a Hebrew name - she's Jewish and the rest of the family have Hebrew names, I could be wrong though.

It's lovely. Unusual but not self-consciously so.

sweetkitty · 08/01/2017 19:56

Love it but then again I should as it's my DD2s name. She really suits it as she's quite an unusual girl.

We pronounce it Tah-LEE-ah she gets annoyed when people call her Taylar or worse still Italia, she gets lots of lovely positive comments about it too.

ClaraVine66 · 08/01/2017 19:58

Love it!
