Theda
Just a quick question - WDYT of Theda? It's a new favourite of mine. I've never met anone with this name, but I happened to come across it in the database and just completely fell in love with it.

I like it, but moreso as a nickname.
Lovely. It's on my list. So cute and fun. I do think I prefer it as a nickname for Theodora (because hey, then you get two great names), but it's mature enough to be a full name. Are you pronouncing the "th"? (I say TAY-da.)
It's so pretty!
I had never even heard it before, but I really love it! It's gorgeous! I'm going to go add it to my PNL right now, actually.

The summer before my senior year
in highschool, I went to a type of academic camp (Kentucky's Governor's Scholars Program). One of the girls I met there was named Theda. We quickly became very close and spent almost all our time together. She lived across the state from me, but after camp we wrote several letters to eachother. She was a brilliant, funny, beautiful girl with long black hair.
The next spring, we had a reunion of all the scholars. On the way to the reunion, Theda was in a car accident and became a quadriplegic. I've since lost touch with her, but I'll always like the name because of knowing her.

I kind of like it.
I like it said TAY-da or TEH-da, but it really gets under my skin when it's said with an English "Th" sound. I think it's just hideous as "THEE-da." I'll go completely one way or the other depending on pronunciation.

I love it.
I've posting it quite often, and was surprised at the negative views. It's such a lovely, spunky name, very '20s.

Very nice. I'd like it either on its own or as a nn for Theodora. :)
Curious, do you personally say it THAY-da or THEE-da?

I'm leaning towards THAY-da, but I have absolutely no clue how to pronounce it correctly.
Gorgeous! Pretty, classic sounding name. I'd love to meet a little girl named Theda.
It's quite pretty actually. I think I like it.
