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.

I have only ever known one who is aged 12 so I think it's quite unusual. I imagine it could be frustrating if you choose to pronounce it Ta-lee-a with a short A as the girl I know does, as most people when they meet her call her Tar-lee-a and she is forever having to correct people.

I would assume that it was short for Natalia

Love it. Went to school with a Tah-lee-ah , she wasTally for short.

It's lovely but as others have said she will forever be correcting people - I know two and one is Tar-lee-ah and one is Tally-ah.

Sparrowlegs248 · 08/01/2017 22:47

I don't like it. I know two and both of them have put me off it! They are both Tar-lia

Love it, and would have had it for a girl but have boys, so will never get to use it.

I always think of Talia Shire from the Godfather. I know someone who has a 5yo called Tallia.

Girl: Talia

What about Leah as an alternative?

Theres a lovely pure white narcissus called Thalia if you want a nice association.

Pronounced tay-lee-a?

I knew one who was nicknamed Jenny by the whole rugby squad at university (she was studying sports and fitness science, so spent a lot of time around them).

Jenny. Talia. Genitalia.

I have been Confused about it ever since.

Omg I never even thought of that elQuin! oh dear!

I love the potential nickname of Tallie but I think people would pick it up as Callie?

His other name is Harley or Arya.... But I think there will be a influx of these names due to the films and TV show?

I like Thalia and Talia. I also like Rosalie and love the name Rose.

I don't like Harley as for Arya? Don't. Not until the tv series or the books are finished. Just don't.

Im thinking T-hal-lee-Ah (Thalia) Rose is pretty cute

I also like the name Hallie but I keep being reminded it's his choice lol.

I've had my boys name picked since I was a little girl so no doubt any kids we are lucky enough to have will be girls lol
