Thalia?

[MuffinsMummy]

I have two DDs Aimee Rachael and Caitlin Louise. I am 25 weeks pregnant and even though I didnt find out I think it will be a girl again.

Someone I know to say hello to is called Thalia and I quite like it. DH, who is very fussy with names and never likes my suggestions, likes it too.

The problem I have is I mentioned it to my friend and she pulled a face of pure disgust! Then when I put it with our surname said oh my god its getting worse!

Is Thalia really that bad?

My surname is Prynn by the pay, pronounced Prinn.

I really like it - might go for Talia to avoid THalia pronunciation.

But what could you have as a nn? Tally?

Our Talia is Talsy or Talsy bops or just plain Tals

I have researched her name a while back when deciding whether to use it or not and it is definitely Hebrew from the male Tal meaning Dew from heaven which is lovely I thought.

We went with Talia to avoid confusion as well.

beautiful name. I love it. unusual without being weird...just wonderful!

Ignore the friend. She had an incredibly tactless moment....

I mean, some names inevitably invite more comment than others ("heavenly hiraani tiger lily" for example!) ....but it's still very rude to pull faces over name choices.

If we all liked the same names there would be 10000000's of talia's running around so don't be put off if someone isn't so keen. Everyone has their own preferences....stick to yours!

It's a nice name, ignore your friend!

My DSD is Thalia (Nathalia on birth certificate) - it really suits her but Thalia sounds like an incomplete name to me, but maybe thats just because its what I'm used to.
