HelpAyelet and Talya
These two have been on my mind.
Opinions? Usable? Just anything that comes to your mind.
I know that Talya gets transcribed as Talya and Talia. I think it is pronounced TUHL-ya (both versions) from what I was able to find out, can anyone confirm this?
Is there a more correct way to transcribe the name? Talya or Talia?
Do you think it would be a confusing name to have because there are also Thalia and Tahlia? But I would pronounce those differently.
And Ayelet, opinions? Which do you prefer?

I'm not a huge fan of Talya or Talia. Based on the Hebrew, it's 3 syllables- TAH-lee-a. Again based on the Hebrew, I would say the most "correct" way of transcribing it is Taliyah. However, since it's transcribed as either Talia or Talya in other languages, I think Talia gives you a more of an indication of the pronunciation.
Ayelet is better than Talia, but I honestly prefer Ayala. Ayelet was super popular in Israel in the 1980s and it's still popular now.

Hi Perrine !!!!
I've already talked about Talya many times. I Say just that the most correct form is with Y because טַלְיָה
טַ
T(+a wovel)
ל
L
יָ
Y (+a wovel)
ה
A(H) final - often feminine mark
Is the last syllable YAH to be stressed when you pronounce it.
Compare Ayelet:
אַיֶלֶת
Ayelet
The יֶ is a Y + wovel E infact you write it Ayelet and not Aielet. When an i/ee sound is a wovel so use "i" but if it is a consonant so it is more correct using Y.
I love Ayelet!! It seems so elegant and energetic at the same time!
As Talya also Ayelet has the last syllable stressed when you pronounce it.

It is pronounced Tall-ya.

I was under the impression that Tahlia, Talia, and Talya were all variant transcriptions of the same Hebrew name (Thalia is a completely different Greek name). I don't believe any transcription is "more correct" than another, though a Hebrew speaker would probably be the best person to ask. Tahlia is probably my favorite of the three, because its pronunciation is most obvious (TAHL-ee-uh).
Ayelet is a total GP of mine. And Ayelet & Talya, imo, make great twin names.

I'm pretty sure that the Hebrew name only has two syllables which is why I never saw Tahlia as a variant. Tahlia definitely makes me want to say it with three syllables.
