Help[Opinions] Re: Tallis
in reply to a message by erb816
Tallis sounds like a name of a Greek goddess of sea or a muse, a daughter to Tethys, or Thalia respectively.
I'd give it 5/10 mostly because it's something completely new to me. Although it sounds better than Thalia, imo. (Yep, I sometimes hate -th- sound))

Well, there was a character on the American sitcom "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" between 1959 and 1963 and she was definitely THAY-lee-uh.
However, a great many of the girls that have been given this name in the last couple of decades in the USA are Hispanic, and the Spanish pronunciation would be TAHL-ee-ah.
So I'm afraid this is one where you have to ask the bearer how she prefers to have it pronounced.
