[Opinions] Re: Talia
in reply to a message by RDNZL
It's pretty and simple. Has a little bit of potential to be princessy though (kind of like Tiara), depending on the middle name.
Since everyone is mentioning Thalia: I don't see Talia as similar to Thalia. Very different feel (no risk of princessiness with Thalia, for example), and also I say Thalia with a "th", not a "t". I looked up the pronunciation on this site and from what I can tell, it should be "th" (http://www.behindthename.com/support/transcribe.php?type=GR&target=T%5Ealeia). I also checked Wikipedia and in modern Greek, theta is the same sound as 'th' in 'thing', but it was closer to 't' in ancient Greek.
