What do you think about....

[ilovemykids5]

The girls names

Acacia (A-kay-she-a)
and
Thea

Isn't Acacia pronounced A-kay-sha

I would go with Thea. It’s s lovely name although it’s getting quite popular now, don’t know if that bothers you.

Acacia makes me think honey/ Avenue.

I much prefer Thea, although it is v popular atm. Acacia I would pronounce A-kay-sha and it makes me think of the mining company...

I really don’t like Acacia.

Acacia makes me think of Bananaman

Acacia is a tree and is pronounced Ah-Kay-Sha

You will be correcting them everytime

Thea is ok though

Oh no didn't realise it was getting popular.

I like Thea.
Have only ever known two IRL: age 45 and 4.

If you wanted alternatives, I find names with a similar feel to them are
-Freya
-Esme
-Niamh/Neve (the 'Neev' pronunciation)
-Maeve

I love Thea.

Hate Acacia. I also think Bananaman!

Really don't like Acacia. Tree. Avenue. Just no.
Thea is better but very feline to me

Thea I like. acacia just makes me think Avenue.

Thea is pretty.

Acacia is a variety of particularly horrible thorns in South Africa and is a bit too made up for my tastes.

Acacia, like Alicia, might not be 'sha' but 'see-a' at the end. I don't have the patience to explain a multi-pronunciation name over years, and would not lumber a DC with the task either

Thea's fine

I really dislike Acacia

Thea is lovely though

I can't stand Thea. To me it sounds weak, insubstantial & lispy.

I'm not mad on Acacia either, but it's got more about it. It's pronounced Ah-KAY-sha, like the plant. I've only met one & she's lovely, so my associations with the name are good ones.

Acacia = Bananaman or honey.

Thea is lovely.

Thea. Acacia would be ridiculous.

Acacia thorns are used in female genital mutilation.

I prefer Acacia - but pronounced A-caysh-ah.

What about Cassia? There used to be a girl in dd’s class with that name. Think it’s another name for cinnamon...or a type of cinnamon.
Always thought it was nice.

I adore Acacia. DP vetoed. But it's pronounced Ah-kay-sha as pp's have said.

Thea is just awful. Middle aged and boring.
