I personally would have no problem with a non-Jewish person using a modern Hebrew name.

But Talia is not solely a "Jewish" or modern Hebrew name. It has other derivations. It can be a short form of Natalia, and in the case of the Italian-American actress Talia Shire, it is a shortened form of her mother's given name, Italia:
