I love [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], but I think today I prefer [name_f]Talia[/name_f]. It just feels a bit sharper to me, a bit less gentle, which I like in this particular moment. It also feels more international in my mind. Dahlias are lovely flowers, but I like [name_f]Talia[/name_f]'s meanings, too. I like both, but today I vote [name_f]Talia[/name_f] :).

I much prefer [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] right now, but think [name_f]Talia[/name_f]/ [name_f]Tahlia[/name_f] will endure longer and is less traceable to a particular time.

I much prefer [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] right now, but think [name_f]Talia[/name_f]/ [name_f]Tahlia[/name_f] will endure longer and is less traceable to a particular time. (Prefer [name_f]Tahlia[/name_f] as [name_f]Talia[/name_f] is Taylia to me.)

I love the name [name_f]Talia[/name_f] (pronounced TA-lyuh, not tuh-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]-uh). Have you considered the spelling [name_f]Thalia[/name_f]? I personally prefer that spelling.

I haven’t thought of [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] before and I really like it!

Thank you all!

We chose that name, we love it! We pronounce the TH like the Greek letter theta.

I love [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] so much. It’s a favorite of mine. I also really like [name_f]Talya[/name_f]/[name_f]Talia[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Natalia[/name_f].

I’ve been considering both of these names myself but am concerned about all of the different pronunciations. Both are really beautiful though. I agree with silversky109 that [name_f]Talia[/name_f] has a slightly more spunky/edgy feel.

Right now I feel like [name_f]Talia[/name_f] is more my kinda name, and that’s because I also think that [name_f]Talia[/name_f] has more spunky feel to it than [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] (I still love it, that hasn’t changed). Also, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] isn’t far from my mind

Thanks people!

oh they are both so beautiful so either way you cant go wrong I would just add an h to [name_f]Thalia[/name_f]

choupette · July 23, 2018, 10:37am

I think they’re both nice but I do like [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] more.
