Personal experiences with the name Thea

Theadora, Teddi

My sister's name...rare in the US.But pretty and short. There do tend to be pronunciation troubles that arise though, but other than that the name works well.

my name is Thea pronounced: TAY-UH. my mother is filipino sp she has a way with spelling. I like my name but no one can prn it correctly. much rather have it splet Taya. Thea looks pretty though i thnk.

We named our daughter Thea ("Thee-uh") and assumed it was pretty straightforward in terms of pronunciation, but already we have people going "Mia?" when we say it and "Thee?" when we write it. So much for straightforward. ;)

As many languages lack the sound represented by theta (The Th in English) The Tay-Uh pronunciation is common globally

We named our daughter Thea ("tay-uh"). She is very ditsy but her name is pretty, no one can pronounce it properly, often saying "thay-uh" or "thee-uh"
