Theadosia Pronunciation

[AdoraLovesCake]

Thoughts on Theadosia:
Thumbs up. Thumbs down.

Theados(like a dose of medicine)A
Theadoz(like dozing)A
TheadosYA
TheadozYA

I like Theados(like a dose of medicine)A but worried others would pronounce it wrong.

Like how hamilton sing it

Either 3 or 4. If you want Theados(like a dose of medicine)A take the "i" out, although people may still get it wrong if they're Hamilton fans.

I would have said Theodose (medicine) ee A

That's what I thought everyone would relate it too

Mm. I like that

yup. I googled Theodosia and it straight away came up with Theodosia, Aaron Burr's daughter

I would assume most people would only know it from the musical -

yeah, i guess.

Thee-uh-doh-see-ah

Thanks! That's what most people are saying

Isn’t it Theodosia, not Theadosia?

If I saw that written down I would guess either Thea-dose-sha or Thea-dos-ee-ah (to rhyme with Maria)

Thumbs down from me, sorry!

Wouldn't be comfortable using a name I'd only ever seen written down.

Sorry yes!

Yeah. It's not my favourite. Would Athena be better for a non-Greek?????

Athena is lovely!

Theodosia Miriam Fern/Heather
or
Athena Miriam Fern/Heather/Cassandra

(I am not Greek)

Even though I am not greek?

There was an Irish novelist called Theodosia Hickey whose memoir suggests she pronounced it Theo-DOSE-(of medicine)-ee-a.

That's what I like, thanks for letting me know!

What is your concern about not being Greek? Athena is well recognised as a name internationally.

I read this as
Thee (as in three without the r)
Ah
Doh (Homer Simpson)
Sia (amnesia) sha

Same. Like ‘thee-a-dosia’ to rhyme with ambrosia.

thea-DOE-see-ya

I've never seen the name before. I'd say thee-a-doze-ee-ah

Isn't it Theodosia? I'd say it as Theo-dose-ya
