Lillia or Thea

[Mummytobe333]

what name does everyone prefer 😊💓

Thea

Thea, definitely

Lillia

Thea

Thea

Lillia

Thea

Theo definitely.

Lillia is just a bit too frilly for my liking.

Thea I meant! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I dislike both.

Thea is weak, lispy and insubstantial.

Lillia used to be a brand of sanitary towels. Lilian or Lily are nice, but I really don't like Lilia/Lillia because of the association.

Lillia is beautiful. I found someone in my family tree generations back with that name. Its timeless

I don't like either of them. Lilia used to be the name of Tesco own brand tampons, and with all the Lilys, Lolas, Lunas, Lyras and Lilas out there is really samey.
Thea sounds like Fear in some accents and there are lots of Theos.

Thea

Lillia is wet

Thea.

And prefer Lilia to Lillia.

I prefer Lilia - beautiful name! But I think it's spelled with one l?

I like Thea but I’m not keen on Lillia. It seems both frilly and insubstantial at the same time. I like Lilian, and Lily is OK.

I'd say Lillia, but it feels like too many 'Ls' in there, are you sure it's not Lilia?

All the Lily- names are nice, eg Liliana, even Lilith!

Sorry but I find Thea a bit nothing-y really, plus like a pp said, it some accents it comes out as 'fear'.

Thea by far.

Adore lovely, lyrical sounding Lilia (which would be my pick) - this spelling though, which is the more widely used and imo the more simple/elegant one.

Thea is nice enough - I just can't help but feel it's slightly "blah" in comparison though, possibly as it feels a touch nicknamey to me (for Theodora, Alethea, Anthea, Dorothea etc).

I much prefer the look of rarer Theia (the original Greek name after the Goddess/Titan, it was apparently anglicized to Thea) . Theia is sometimes pronounced "Thay -ah" though, which you might not like or not.

I like them both!

Word of warning with Thea though... Germany, and a number of the eastern european countries would pronounce it Tay-a.
