I like Thea but I prefer it pronounced as thee-ah. I like it as a nn for Anthea or Althea. Thea Bella is nice but I prefer Tayah Belle. ;)

I like the name Thea (but pronounced TAY-ah). I think it fits with Oliver, Clara, and Tobias.

---

I don't like Thea Bella. (I think it's b/c they both end in "a.")

I like it, but I pronounce it THEE-uh, like from Theadora / Theodora. It's not a common name, and I've only met one, but she pronounced it THEE-uh.

---

Tea I would say TAY-uh. And I like that name too.

I really dislike Bella, which I just find too saccharine sweet and diminutive. The other sib names are fine.

Thea's kind of cute, but I don't think you'll have much luck getting people to understand that it's pronounced Tay-A when most of the girls who use it pronounce it The-, like the end of Dorothea for instance.
If you like the Tay-A sound, I'd recommend just finding a spelling that reflects that sound, maybe Taya? Or Tea, like Tea Leoni?
And yes, it goes pretty well with Oliver, Clara and Tobias... as TheA.
As to middle names, I'd say, the simpler the beter. I'm no fan of Bella or Belle in general, but Tay-a Bella, kind of sounds to me like Italian restaurant. lol Maybe Lynn, Jean, Anne, or Marie.
