[Opinions] Titania
Hi !!!I recently came across this name few weeks ago when I started seeing 'Fairy Tail' anime. Infact It is a NN for a character.I obviously know its Shakespearian history but I did not care for it since I saw Erza/Elsa Scarlet because it suits her perfectly.By the way...WDYTO Titania?
I love Mythological names and I'm glad that Shakespeare chose it for the Queen of fairies because without this link the Greek name would be unpleasant. Now adding the Fairy Tail link I judge Titania very strong, tryumphant, literarian and ethereal as well. Something like Cassandra. I love both.Can you give me any rate or combo with Titania as first name?Oh..how do you pronounce It?
My pronounciation is tee-TAH-nee-a.

I pronounce it tye-TAYN-ia and it's one of my favorites! I wish people weren't so childish about it. My favorite combo is Titania Grace, and a good nickname is Taney.

It's a lovely name, but it would be unfortunate if the bearer ended up being obese. I can just picture the insults already: Titania the titanic whale and things like that. Because of this, I would never use it as a first name, only as a middle name.Also, my pronunciation of the name is tee-TAH-nee-ah, which is how most (if not all) people from my country (the Netherlands) would pronounce it.

Ill met by moonlight. It's too fanciful and titanic for me and I can't imagine it on a real person, although there are apparently several living bearers in the UK (one of whom has Dream as a middle name!). But I don't mind the sound of it. ti TAHN ya is the usual Shakespearean pronunciation.Combos: Titania Fay, Titania Siofra, Titania Parisa

I'd most likely say tie-TAYN-yə, though I've heard tee-TAH-nee-a and used to get it mixed up with Tatiana.I agree it's triumphant/ethereal sounding but there's also an awkward quality, maybe because titan is a word. I get a similar vibe from Olympia...strong, mythic, large.Titania Rosalia

I knew a child named Titania, at a camp where I worked one summer.I pronounce it close to the way Felie does, T'TAH-nee-a. I remember this child, as much for her name as anything-age about 9, skinny little kid, red hair, good swimmer.

It's strange. I don't think I would like it even if I didn't have iffy associations with it, because I don't like the paired t's. I'm not a fan of T names.I would pronounce it tie-TAY-nee-a, like the English word for the metal, titanium. So it has a sort of industrial connotation for me. And visually, the "tit" part is a problem in English. I don't think of Titans at all.I'd combine it with another rare ancient sort of name, and double down on its style...
