Talitha

Thoughts on Talitha, not a huge fan of Tabitha but really like Talitha, nn Tallie

Just sounds like you're saying Tabitha with a speech impediment.

Which syllable is emphasised? Is it TAL-ith-a or Tal-ITH-a? Either way, I much prefer it to the harder sounding Tabitha.

I prefer either Tabitha or Talia (Natalia) but Talitha sounds odd.

It's a nice name and nn Tallie is good.

Not to my taste, far nicer names around.

I love it. I assume you're pronouncing the middle syllable with an Ee sound, as that's the way I've heard it before. Tal-EE-tha. Nice nickname too. Much prefer it to Tabitha.

As long as you don't mind having to correct people all her Life then go for it

I know an adult Talitha - pronounced TALitha like Tabitha - I like it. Unusual but not weird.

Really like this name.

I know a couple. It’s biblical. Means “little girl”.

In the Bible she was a little girl who died and Jesus brought back to life. So it depends if you’re ok with that link?

Nice babe though. I knew one who was Tilly for short

Name, not babe! Ha

I know a lovely little Talitha, mostly known as Tallie.

I really like Tallie and Tabitha, so quite like Talitha

Know one (primary age)

Think it sounds weird - poor girl will constantly have to spell it

I like it.

I know an adult one, it suits her. Much nicer than Tabitha.

Gorgeous name!

I always associate it with the fabulously glamorous Talitha Gerry:

I actually quite like it. Love the nickname Tallie

Talitha Getty FFS!

how about Aletheia ? It's also from the bible, and very pretty.

I nearly used it for my DD but couldn't decide whether it should be pronounced TALitha, talEEtha or talEEta. I know one who pronounces it talEEta but she's from another country & I couldn't decide whether that was the more proper way of pronouncing it or if it was a local thing, or if an anglicised pronunciation was acceptable/appropriate... In the end it was too stressful so I went with a slightly more common name to avoid confusion!

It is lovely though. I do sometimes regret going with a safe option & not just picking my favourite pronunciation & sticking with it!

I like it.

I went to school with one, she was Australian if I remember correctly. Spelt Talitha and pronounced Tal-ee-thuh.
Quite like it.
