Re: Thalia
in reply to a message by Honey
It looks pretty and has a nice etymology and meaning.
It would be on my list if there weren't all of those pronunciation issues.
I like TAH-lee-ah or TAHL-ya but I have heard it as THA-lee-ah, THAL-yah, tha-LEE-ah, tha-LIE-ah etc. etc. and it is so confusing. I also don't even know what the original pronunciation was supposed to be.
The Hebrew Talya (TAHL-ya) is easier but could be confused with Tayla.
So in general nice names but not really practical.
