Help[Opinions] Re: Would Tharlia be a good name for a book character?
in reply to a message by Rainya
The original English pronunciation of Thalia was NOT with the "t" sound. However, that's the way it's said in Spanish, and the name has been especially popular with Hispanics recently, so one is more likely to hear the "T" pronunciation today.
There was a character named Thalia on "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" TV sitcom in the USA 1959-1963, and her name was prounced "THAYL-yuh", using the "th" sound of "thin" and with the first syllable rhyming with Dale, mail, nail, whale, etc.
