HelpRe: Tea/Taya?
in reply to a message by Egyptian Princess
I like it. It looks like the word 'tea', though. I'd probably go with Teia or Theia (check out the cool meaning). Theia looks best to me. Téa and Thea work too. Taya is cute but I'd pronounce it TAH-ya or TY-ah.
TAY-ah - Téa, Teia, Theia
THEE-ah - Thea
TY-ah or TAH-ya - Taya
this is how I think most people would pronounce them. But I think you could also use Thea for TAY-ah. No matter how you spell it you'll have some explaining to do.

Teia
Téa
But I like Téa as well.
TAY-ah - Téa, Teia, Theia
THEE-ah - Thea
TY-ah or TAH-ya - Taya

Theia
In Greek - and in English - the 'th' is pronounced like the 'th' in thought. So it's more like THAY-a.

I know, but it's so extremely uncommon that you would get away with TAY-ah. I know a Thea who pronounces it TAY-ah in the US and it works.

I love Theia!
