Taisa/Taissa.

I will tell you how I would want it pronounced once I have a few replies. Trying to gauge how complicated/annoying a name it would be.

ScrewedByFunding · 30/04/2025 08:17

Tay - sah

NoraLuka · 30/04/2025 08:17

I wouldn’t say that the same, Taisa = like Tizer but with an s, Taissa = Ta-issa.

ThisPithyJoker · 30/04/2025 08:18

Tay-sah

ThePussy · 30/04/2025 08:18

Like Tazer.

LilDeVille · 30/04/2025 08:18

Taser (non-rhotic)

Tay-ssa maybe (‘ssa’ same sound as end of Alyssa). So a more even emphasis on both syllables compared to ‘TAser’

Westfacing · 30/04/2025 08:19

Tayser - like tazer but with an s

Tafal · 30/04/2025 08:19

Tay-sah

dementedpixie · 30/04/2025 08:20

Tay-sa or Ty-eesa.
Or what you told me to say

NotSafeInTaxis · 30/04/2025 08:20

You wouldn't pronounce both of those the same

LivingLaVidaBabyShower · 30/04/2025 08:20

Tay-sa / Tay-sah (tazer with an s)

Stickortwigs · 30/04/2025 08:20

Tay-sah

Edenmum2 · 30/04/2025 08:21

Tizer

midlifeattheoasis · 30/04/2025 08:24

Tizer or tazer

zzpleb · 30/04/2025 08:25

First thought was Tay-sa but then thought you might have intended Ty-sa (tai like Thailand but without the H).

MiddleAgedDread · 30/04/2025 08:25

Tazer
prepare to be zapped!!

ErrolTheDragon · 30/04/2025 08:27

Tay-sa
like tazer but a softer s.

CatherinedeBourgh · 30/04/2025 08:30

tah-ee-sah - but then I know one and that is how she pronounces it (and it is the way it would be pronounced in my mt, so feels natural).

GaraMedouar · 30/04/2025 08:31

Different pronunciations- Tayzer / Tay-Issa .

would Tessa be a possibility instead? Easy to spell and pronounce
