Thoughts on the name Tella

What do you think of Tella? Pronounced like Teya. I personally know a girl with this name and I actually think it’s adorable but of course people always call her Tell-a.

I’d probably spell it Teya unless you’re in a place where the double L will be pronounced right

I wouldn’t pronounce them the same. I’d say Teya as tay-ah and Tella as teh-yah, if that makes sense. I also assumed it was pronounced tel-ah, so I’d avoid it because of the pronunciation issues

I would assume it rhymed with [name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_f]Bella[/name_f], but I love it the way you’re pronouncing it.

I’d probably spell it Teia or Teya in a primarily English-speaking area to avoid confusion, but [name_f]Tella[/name_f] is lovely and 100% usable.

I would definitely pronounce it Tell-uh where I live. If you want it pronounced Teya I would spell it that way.

I prefer the Teya or Téa spellings to Tella, just because I’d pronounce Tella like Stella or Bella.
