Re: Tea
in reply to a message by )(
Pronounced as 'tee' like the drink? Possibly as a nickname, but it'd be really weird as a full name here in the UK. There might be a bit of a "hurr-hurr Brits and their tea stereotype" vibe, pseudo-self-aware, overally r/britishproblems and ultimately cringey, but I think the r/britishproblems-est of people would struggle not to find it really odd as a given name. If you want a tee-ah sound, Thea with a hard-t wouldn't be intuitive for the average English speaker, but most people would get the idea fairly quickly and it'd be no more of a mental jump (maybe less as it's not a common vocab word) spelling it Thea than Tea. But then Tia's probably the most obvious choice?Not a fan of any options though to be honest, although I was always more of a coffee person...
