I love Thea!
It's so cute, simple, and very pretty.
Boring. It's a popular name here and has been for many years and I'm tired of it. It also feels quite childish to me.
I was actually just about to post about this! I'm in the minority, but the first association, for me, is the deuteragonist of 'Shuna's Journey,' Miyazaki's watercolor-illustrated graphic novel that played a significant role in the production of 'Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind,' 'Princess Mononoke,' and 'Tales from Earthsea.'
In the story, Thea is a teenage girl enslaved by a wealthy market town with her little sister; Shuna, the protagonist, fights for their freedom. Thea is shown to be highly intelligent, a hard worker, and a compassionate soul. She's one of my favorite book characters, but it's hard to talk about her without spoiling the story. So, for the reader's sake, I will not say any more.

Luv it! Thea is certainly one of my favorites. I like that it's uncommon, but still very much recognized and easy to spell. Simple yet beautiful. I enjoy the 'TAY-uh' pronunciation, and have even used that for a character of mine, but I also don't mind 'THEE-uh' π

It's short, uncommon but still recognizable and very pretty. I've known two - one was pronounced Thee -a and the other Thay - a. Oddly, I like them about the same. The bearer would have to make their preference known often. Thea can stand on its own but makes a great nickname. Also nice as a middle name.
It's very pretty. I went to college with two girls named Thea, one of whom pronounced it the German way.
I prefer Anthea and Dorothea.
