[Opinions] Re: Thalia pronunciation?
in reply to a message by Siân
I like Thalia but I'd never use it because there are so many different ways to pronounce it. I'm pretty sure the original Greek pronunciation is tha-LY-a, but I don't like it much at all, especially because the LY-a part reminds me a little of the word 'liar'.
I pronounce it tah-LEE-ah. It's my favorite pronunciation and I think it rolls off the tongue easily. I like it with the nickname Tali (TAH-lee). My second favorite would be TAH-lee-ah, also with the nickname Tali.
I wouldn't use a TH pronunciation, only the pronunciations in which the TH is pronounced like a T.
