Names like Thea

[SunflowerOwl]

Really love Thea for our DD due in August but have read on here that it's become a bit trendy at the moment.

Could anyone suggest any similar names? I also love Willa but it sounds a bit daft with our surname.

Thanks!

Dorothy / Dorothea
Theodora / Theo
Vera
Thalia

We loved the name Thea. Unfortunately I've got Greek relatives and my father is half Greek and Thea means Aunt. So nobody was keen. We chose Caylee instead and Morgan as a 2nd name. Both family and strangers have complimented our choice and and it really does suit her more than Thea would have. Its very unique especially spelt this way but we love it. Pic of my Caylee - she's 15 months.

Or my name which is so unique that id be outed immediately but it does rhyme with Thea. Will PM you @SunflowerOwl

Oh Timmy she’s delicious. She looks like a little tub of trouble..

Leah is also nice, or how about Mia, Ciara, Layla, Mila or Gina?

Tessa.
Rosa.
Tia.
Nina.

Rhea
Erin

Theia, Tilda, Trudie, Mischa, Erika, Etta, Yara, Eulah, Thebe, Orpah, Pia, Elula. Tessa is lovely as someone else has suggested.

Thora

@Timmytoo what a little cutie 💓

Martha ?
Caylee is beautiful. She looks a real character!

I think thea is lovely and I dont know of any at all - I know plenty of kids through mine.
I wouldn't let that put you off?
Do you like Greek names in particular?

Etta
Althea
Calla
Mya
Lyra
Myra

Thank you @Amdone123 and @CirqueDeMorgue She definitely is a character and so funny. She really has a lovely personality and sense of humor. A bundle of naughtiness 😂

Why does it matter if it's "trendy" op? Go for it if you love the name 🤷‍♀️

Gaia? Vita? Calla?

All less common than Thea but have a similar sound and feel. Or Cora - another short, -a ending name of Greek origin? Also like pp’s suggestion of Tessa.

Theano - easy to spell and nowhere near as popular.

Love Theia ("Thay -ah") - same meaning as Thea but less trendy. Or ancient Greek Thalia is lovely too.

Agree with pp's that Greek Lara, Gaia and Cora also have a similar feel to Thea.

Or if you like the "ee- ah" sound - Nia, Zia or Leah. Or maybe Cassia or Celia?

I don’t think it’s that popular. Use it if you love it!

Cleo
Thalia
Alethea (ah-lay-thee-ah)

Outing but we have a Thea-to-her-friends, longer name at home. She is 6.5 and I've never met another nor heard the name brought up IRL. May depend where you live, I guess, but don't think it's that popular.

You could also go for a less popular name that can be nicknamed, e.g. Althea, Dorothea or even Theodora.

But honestly, just use it! It is really like Olivia or Ava.

*really NOT

I believe Theo is really popular but I've only met one or two Theas. It's so lovely, if you like it why not go for it?

Leah is also nice, Cora, Vita, Sia? I absolutely love Tessa/Tessie which i think is long overdue a comeback.
