Thoughts on the name Taya?

[CherryJones]

To rhyme with 'layer' or ' payer'

Considering it but not sure. Don't like Thea

Hate

It’s missing a consonant.

it sounds weak when you say it aloud

I like it. I know a young adult one. Also like Tia / Teah, and Ria/ Rhia.

Makes me think of Taya from MAFSUK. I then uncontrollably break into song as per Mel & Kim circa 1987 grin]

Surely you need the R on the end or nobody will pronounce correctly. Awful either way.

Awful.

No no no.

I then uncontrollably break into song as per Mel & Kim circa 1987

And that's just made me do it too 😂
So that would be a no from me 😬

Absolutely awful.

I don't mind it. Wouldn't be surprised to hear it, although I haven't heard it before. I prefer Tanya or Tonya.

I don't think anyone would pronounce it rhyming with layer, I'd pronounce it rhyming with liar? I don't think it's got enough substance really to be a name.

Love Island name,

Tayah… reminds me of Toyah Wilcox. Its ok, I’m not a huge fan.

It makes me think of Mel and Kim too. Instantly started singing it

Raya is nicer

I love it!

Well my aunt had a Siamese cat called taya when I was little and I met a sales rep today called Taya and it's the first time I've met anyone with that name and now someone is asking about it in here....spooky.

Have you made it up? It's awful

Not keen sorry, seems a bit forgettable. There are lots of other short names to choose with more substance I think.

Sounds like one of those made up names that ‘uneek’ parents might choose, sorry!

I like how it sounds, but I prefer the spelling "Tehya"

I know a 5yo Taya (pronounced like layer). She's a lovely little girl, so I only have a positive association with the name. It isn't a name I'd choose, but it wouldn't (and didn't when I met my friend's Taya) raise an eyebrow from me.

This.

My name's Natalya. When my brother was a baby he couldn't say my name and called me Taya so that's all I can think about when I hear the name. I didn't actually know it was a 'real' name.
