[Opinions] Re: Titania
in reply to a message by Katiuscia
I mentioned in a previous post that I have just finished teaching A Midsummer Night's Dream (in the UK all children, regardless of ability, study Shakespeare from age 11) and there were two responses to the name from them:
1) Tit
2) Misreading it as Tatiana
I agree with Anneza, the name was given in jest to the character. I wouldn't use it.
If you want Tania, Tatiana is a far nicer option.

I wouldn't think tit if I heard the name, but it definitely jumps out at me when I see it written (typed) out.
British and Americans seem to pronounce it differently.
This is poor use of phonetics but essentially US = ty-TANE-ee-uh, UK = tih-TAHN-yah
