The name Thea

[lgh05]

What do you think of the name Thea Millie? Both names to dedicate mine and Dh grandmothers. Our surname is a nice sounding simple name (my maiden name was bad so appreciate my married name)

Also for a boy we have decided on Isaiah David (definitely not everyone taste)

Lovely! I wish we had used it x

Did Mildred have a middle name?

No unfortunately not. So mildred or Millie is my only choice. (Really not a fan of Mildred)

@Igh05 If YOU are happy with those names, and it honours the grandparents as YOU see fit, have the names of your choosing. Once you are introduced to a person, you never know them as anything else.

By YOU I mean you and your DH. Hope that's clear.

Yeah definitely xx

I like your boy’s name but the mispronounciation of Thea would put me off

I like it but Thea is already soft sounding so I think Millicent complements it better.
I much prefer Dorothy Millie though
Or Thora Millie
Or Doralie Mildred

But yes I like the name you've chosen!

" I like your boy’s name but the mispronounciation of Thea would put me off "

it's just a different way of saying it, not a ' mispronounciation' anyway it would be 'mispronunciation' if you want to be that picky.

Hope that makes you feel superior DullAndOld 🙄

Ith a bit lithpy.

not half as superior as you felt when you typed 'mispronounciation' that's for sure

I've always thought Thea was a nn for Heather, although now writing it I'm not sure why!

Lovely!

Thank you all for your comments!! Can’t believe we have actually picked our baby’s name who ever they may be! #teamyellow

Love it my sister had a friend called Thea I thought it was a pretty name then ( I was a teenager then) and have never met another one. A friend of mine has an Isaiah I think it is a lovely name too. Congratulations.

Aww thank you @Bowerbird5 that’s really encouraging

I have a Thea who is 7 so obviously I love it! She is the only Thea at school. I wouldn't worry about mispronounciation, it's VERY rare in my experience and if it happens, my daughter is extremely quick to correct!! I find that a single syllable middle name goes best with that name :)
