Talia

[FeralCats99]

Hormones/baby name regret - how do you pronounce Talia?!

Is it too out there with a top 50 sibling name?
We were pronouncing tal ee a rather than tarl ee a and obviously knew pronounced the other way but worried were actually the minority. We announced her name last month but every other day wonder whether we should have gone for our safe choice.
Thanks in advance

What, like Ali isn't actually a name, it's just a derivative of Alastair?! 😆

The world extends beyond Europe & indeed beyond Christianity, oddly enough. It's a popular & beautiful name amongst Muslim Arabic speakers.

Tar-lee-ah, with the emphasis on the Tar.

No, it's not. Although I've only known it spelt Thalia.

Yes my kiwi friend is Thalia pronounced Tar-Lee- A

I think it’s a strong but feminine name

I pronounce it Tally Er and really like the name.

I'd pronounce it Tar-leeuh unless I'd heard you say the name

well, it is given as an independent name now, but it comes from Natalia. It means Christmas

Natalya/Natalia/Natalie comes from birth or Christmas.

Talia is a name of Aramaic and Hebrew origin. It comes from the Hebrew words Tal (dew) and Yahweh (meaning G-d). It can be spelled lots of ways as other apps have said - Talya, Thalia, Talia, Taliah, Taaliah etc. It doesn’t stem from Natalie

Or of course there's Thalia the Greek comic muse, but that's more likely to be pronounced a bit like Failure but with a Th (cf Tim in Antonia Forest's novels...). 😁

Ta-Lee-ah, surely? Lovely name. ‘Adriennnnnneeeeee’ in the Rocky films was played by Talia Shire.

It's going to be quite a divisive name. Some of us would pronounce it Tarleea. And wonder why it wasn't spelt Thalia.

And plenty of other people will pronounce it as you do.

I know a Talia and she pronounces it Tar-Lee-ah. Ta-Lee- ah I’d have to concentrate saying properly til I got used to it, I guess that probably depends on accent though!

It's a fab name!

Do you have a bAth or a barrrrth?

I'd spell it like this.
