Th names
Are there any names containing the letters, 'th' that you really like? I know some tend to come across as rather lispy, such as the case with Edith, Elspeth or even Seth for example, which, yes, I do have on my list. Of course not every name with this particular letter pattern are like that at all. But without further ado, here are the ones that I have on my list: Cynthia
Elizabeth
Heather
Katherine
Talitha (Prefer over Tabitha)
Thea
TheodoraEthan
Matthew
Nathaniel
Seth
Theo (Like as both a nickname and also as a stand-alone)
Theodore
Thomas I certainly have more than I realized. Share with me some of yours. 🙂"Has the planet gone mad? My brother... passion's hostage. I seek justice! Denied. I shall not submit! I shall conquer! I shall rise! My name is Gomez Addams, and I have seen evil! I have seen horror!"

As a non-native english speaker,''th'' was a bit hard to learn. In fact, in French, some names have kept the ''th'' but considering the sound doesn't exist in French, it's just pronounced as a 't'. But now that I'm able to say it properly, I do like names with the ''th'' sound.Here are some I like:
Agatha, Althea, Dorothea, Edith, Elizabeth, Ethel, Faith, Hyacinth, Ruth (yes even if it's a bit dated), Theresa.
Nathaniel, Theodore, Timothy and Thomas. Do names like Esther or Mathilda would count? I feel the ''th'' is less pronounced in these example.

Oh, that's quite fascinating. 🙂 Also yes, Esther and Mathilda count, as they still contain a 'th'
