HelpRe: Name-nerd versus not
in reply to a message by kudriashkajo
No, I don't think so. She wants it to be pronounced TAY-a. Teia looks like Leia which is commonly pronounced LAY-ah. Taya looks like Maya which is pronounced MY-ah or MAH-ya. So Teia wouldn't be mispronounced as often. Apart from that it looks legit, like a slight variant of Theia which has a great meaning, whereas Taya looks made up. I don't have anything against Taya but prefer Teia.

I guess I was thinking that the Theia connection wouldn't really matter to most people, since that's not a name that a lot of people would even have heard of. The Leia connection makes sense though.
I would have thought Taya would regularly be assumed to be pronounced TAY-uh, because English has so many words that have the "ay" sound and are spelled that way. :) Like way. And say, bay, day, okay, ray, may, pay, pray, etc.
