HelpThalia...
in reply to a message by Flarette
I don't care for it, because I don't like th sounds, but I do like the pronunciation Thay-Lee-A. Or rather, Thayl-yuh.
Funny thing is, Thalia is the name of the town in Larry McMurtry's Last Picture Show series. But for some reason, when they made movies of some of the books, they changed the name of the town to Anarene.
There really is a Thalia, Texas, but the one McMurtry uses is made up and I think, in a different part of the state from the real Thalia. In any case I have no idea how the book Thalia is supposed to be pronounced, but I assume it's Thayl-yuh.

that was a bi deterrent for me, the "TH" is a bit of a turn off, but the alia is pretty.

Hmm... I like the "TH," I find it interesting. It stands out from most of the sounds that are popular right now. But I also have weird preferences when it comes to sounds in words and names - for instance, I love names that begin with F and "Ar."
