I heard on the radio [name]Tommy[/name] Mattola’s wife’s name is [name]Thalia[/name] and they were saying it “Ta-[name]Lee[/name]-Uh” with the emphasis on the lee. I think it’s kind of pretty but I can see pronunciation issues? [name]How[/name] would you say it? [name]Do[/name] you like it?
I went to school with a [name]Thalia[/name]. She pronounced it Tall-ee-ah
[name]Thalia[/name] is very pretty and I think usable - but I [name]DO[/name] agree that you would likely have to explain the pronunciation to people, but I don’t find that to be a huge issue for me. I mean, MY name is pretty common and people manage to screw that up on almost a daily basis, it’s never really bothered me. (in fact, it’s quite entertaining at times).
I would likely pronounce [name]Thalia[/name] as [name]Tah[/name]-[name]LY[/name]-ah. (ly with the eye sound).
I like [name]Thalia[/name]! Whenever I’ve heard it, I’ve heard the emphasis being put on the first syllable, but I guess it’s like that tomato-tomahto thing, isn’t it? 
I can see pronunciation issues in [name]Thalia[/name]'s future…however, I think the name is so pretty and such a cool twist on [name]Tali[/name]/[name]Talia[/name] that I really like it anyway.
I think it is an extremely pretty name, but one which everyone seems to pronounce differently - I would probably say it [name]TAH[/name]-lee-ah, but would wait for correction by the person whose name it was…
It’s beautiful, I had it on my list for a while. I pronounce it THAYL-ee-uh (the Greek way), but thuh-LIE-uh and [name]TAH[/name]-lee-uh are pretty common in English speaking countries I believe.
I pronounce it [name]THAY[/name]-lee-uh and I think it’s beautiful!
Thayl -yah is how I have heard this name pronounced. The [name]Talia[/name] I know pronounces her name [name]Tal[/name] -yah.
I work at a school in north [name]Florida[/name] and this has to be one of the most common names at my school. The little girls are pronounce it [name]Tah[/name]-lee-yah. Most of the kiddos with the name are third and fourth graders. Must have been something in the naming waters that year.
I pronounce it just like that. “Ta-lee-uh”.
Wow…Interesting. I live in Central [name]Florida[/name] and the names in our area do not coincide in popularity with the rest of the state or the nation for that matter either! I was looking at the hospital records of births in my area and the #1 boys name is [name]Jayden[/name] spelled like that??? Um ok…really #1?? Also [name]Valentina[/name] is in top 20 in our area, and [name]Mia[/name] is top 5. It made me feel better that one of my name loves [name]Ava[/name] was #10 with 48 [name]Ava[/name]'s being born in our area in 2012, hoping that means [name]Ava[/name] is dying down and usable again 
I always believed that [name]Thalia[/name] and [name]Talia[/name] were the same pronunciation…?
My husband and I have discussed the name [name]Natalia[/name] (not expecting right now, but you know, creating the infamous “list”). If we ever went with [name]Natalia[/name], we would definately call our daughter [name]Talia[/name] (prn 2 syllables = [name]Tal[/name]-ya) meaning “gentle dew from heaven” ~ love that! When I first made the suggestion, I asked my husband if he ever heard of “[name]Talia[/name]” before, because I hadn’t… turns out, he had taught a college student named [name]Talia[/name], within the last couple of years during his student teaching. I never questioned that it could have various pronunciations because it seemed a universal pronunciation, esp as the short form of Na-tal-ya, and the fact that my husb never corrected me on its pronunciation. We live about an hour east of [name]Philadelphia[/name] and I’m originally from the Ohio/[name]Erie[/name], Pa area and for 8 hours every day, I see names on a call list for the entire state of NJ, I think I may have a good idea that in these areas, it is a beautifully unique name
I suppose if you wanted to make her a little more sophisticated, it could be prn [name]Tahl[/name]-ya.
[name]Tah[/name]-lee-ah and the [name]Tah[/name] is heaviest. But I like the subtle variant of [name]Tah[/name]-[name]LEE[/name]-ah- pretty.
I say it like [name]Thomas[/name]- silent H.
I would pronounce it the same as [name]Talia[/name]: TA-lee-ah.
I’ve heard both the thal-ya and tal-ya/tal-lee-ah pronunciations. I would probably go for the tal- pronuciation first but the thal- pronunciation wouldn’t surprise me.
I’ve only ever heard it pronounced “[name]TAH[/name]-lee-uh”, with emphasis on the “[name]TAH[/name]”.
I would say “tahl-YA” like [name]Talia[/name] [name]Shire[/name] (rocky movies actress). Two syllables, not three. My rationale would be that if [name]Thandie[/name] is pronounced “[name]Tandy[/name]” then wouldn’t [name]Thalia[/name] be pronounced “tahl-YAH”?
I would pronounce the h in it so a th sound at the beginning, not a t sound. If it were spelled [name]Talia[/name] then I would pronounce it with the t sound.
I say thay-lee-uh, because that’s how I’ve always heard the daffodil pronounced.
I pronounce it [name]TAH[/name]-lee-uh. {the [name]TAH[/name] sound is like the word tar}
It’s pretty! My friend has a sister named [name]Thalia[/name], she’s half-Spanish.
