HelpTheia
What do you think of the name Theia?
"Possibly derived from Greek θεά (thea) meaning "goddess". In Greek myth this was the name of a Titan goddess of light, glittering and glory. She was the wife of Hyperion and the mother of the sun god Helios, the moon goddess Selene, and the dawn goddess Eos."

I love it! It seems so simple and yet so ancient and powerful.

I love how it looks, but in practice would constantly be confused with Thea

My first guess (before clicking in the message) was it being a feminine form loosely connected to Theo, it is short, simple and easy to pronounce (plus it sounds beautiful to me and seems to age well), great example for borrowing foreign name.

Don't like it, and I say it would have spelling and prounciation issues

Love it!

It has a nice meaning but I think it will cause spelling and pronunciation problems.
I would say TAY-a in German but in English I wouldn't be sure whether to say it like Thea (THEE-a) or THAY-a or TAY-a or TEE-a.
Thea is also getting trendy in many places (here in Germany it is rising).
I like Theia better. But again I wouldn't be sure about the pronunciation. It is why I wouldn't use Thalia. Too many options.
