What do you think of the name Thea?
I've heard it a few times recently and absolutely love it but other people I've asked aren't so sure.

I like it in theory but in some accents it can sound too much like Fear which would annoy me so I removed it from my list!

SomeKnobend · 09/07/2018 19:42

It's nice.

MikeUniformMike · 09/07/2018 19:43

Not keen.

MouseBatMummy · 09/07/2018 19:44

I like it! Pretty and not over used

weeklywoo · 09/07/2018 19:45

Lovely name

Elphabaisnotwicked · 09/07/2018 20:07

I think it’s lovely!

CloudCaptain · 09/07/2018 20:08

Lovely.

DramaAlpaca · 09/07/2018 20:11

Sorry but I don't like it at all. It's too soft & lispy sounding for me.

RavenWings · 09/07/2018 20:13

I think it's ok but not a fan of how some accents will turn it into Fear. It grates on me then.

Peachbubble · 09/07/2018 20:34

I like it

adoggymama · 09/07/2018 20:44

Not a fan, sorry! X

Smushrooms · 09/07/2018 20:46

Love it.

MaryLouise12 · 09/07/2018 20:48

Bit difficult to pronounce that one, but I think it'd go just right with a nice longish middle name!

Like it

Chuckle2 · 09/07/2018 21:31

Agree with a PP about the 'fear' pronunciation

Catinthecorner · 10/07/2018 08:04

Reminds me of Green Arrow

Cosmoa · 10/07/2018 10:15

Again... Sounds too much like Fear and it's a little bland.

lifechangesforever · 10/07/2018 10:22

It's the name we've chosen for DD who is due next week, so I love it.

My current predicament is whether to actually name her Theodora on the BC and just use Thea day to day.

firsttime17 · 10/07/2018 16:48

I like it! I knew a little girl called Thea and her nn was Teddy x

Wellthisunexpected · 10/07/2018 21:09

I love it. Was on our list for DS (team yellow). I now know a few thoughts it's reasonably popular, one is just Thea, one is Theadora and the other Dorothea, all known as Thea day to day.
