I’ve met two Theas I think but they pronounced it Thee-uh.
It’s a sweet name and I think it fits nicely with [name_f]Viola[/name_f]

3

I much prefer Thee-a, never met either

4

I’ve never met a [name_f]Thea[/name_f] [name_m]IRL[/name_m]. Like pps, I would pronounce it thee-ah (soft th- like in “with”) unless corrected. I think it would be a perfect sister-name with [name_f]Viola[/name_f]!

5

[name_f]Thea[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f] are nice together, but it would be pronounced thee-uh all the time (at least in [name_u]America[/name_u]). I’ve never met one before.

6

I have never met a little [name_f]Thea[/name_f]. I think that the they-a pronunciation won’t come naturally to most people at most glance. I think it goes very well with [name_f]Viola[/name_f]!

7

I like the name a lot (but the thee-a pn), I don’t know any.

8

I know one teenage [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and she pronounces it [name_u]TAY[/name_u]-a. It gets mispronounced all the time and she gets frustrated.

9

It’s popular where I live… but [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f] and [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] would be fab sibset!

10

[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t know any but love the name (they-uh prn.)!

11

I would love to meet a [name_f]Thea[/name_f]! It’s a great name.

12

I know a few. But they don’t all know each other.

[name_f]Thea[/name_f] as I’m used to it rhymes with [name_f]Mia[/name_f]. Of the two, I vastly prefer [name_f]Thea[/name_f].

Works fine with [name_f]Viola[/name_f] but I think [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] works even better.

13

It’s not popular where I am!

14

It popped into the top 100 here in 2016, but it’s back out again (we don’t have data below the top 100).
I know a couple of Theas, but they’re adults. All pronounce it Thee-uh (with a soft ‘th’).
I think it can work as a nickname for [name_f]Anthea[/name_f], [name_f]Althea[/name_f], [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] etc, but it’s fine on its own too. It works well with [name_f]Viola[/name_f].

15

I’ve met two one elderly and one toddler. Both pronounced Thee-ah. I like it.
