Comments for the name Tea

There is a character in the popular anime Yu-Gi-Oh with the name Tea.

I used to know a girl with this name who spelt it Téa (with the accent over the E) and pronounced it TAY-uh. A famous bearer is actress Téa Leoni.

Arsenal football player Thiere Henry's daughter is called this and when he scores he celebrates with a tribute by crossing his fingers in a 'T' shape for her.

This is a drink, not a name. It's like having coffee as a name.

It's not an English name, so it isn't the same as Tea. It's not Tia either, not at least in Finland. I'm not sure about Swedish, because I don't speak real Swedish (rikssvenska).
And the version Teea is used, but it is rarer.

This name is pronounced "TEE-ah". Not the same as the drink called tea.

Actress, Tea Leoni is a famous bearer.

If Tea was the name of a triplet, the other would be Coffee and the other one would be Hot Chocolate.

Also a girls name in Slovenia.

I look at this name and think of iced tea. If you want the name to sound like TEE-ah, then you should spell it Tia.

The name is pronounced TAY-UH. Not Tea as in the drink. Although you can pronounce it that way. That wouldn't be the correct pronunciation.

This name will cause too much teasing throughout life.

TEA? TEA? Wha-? What kind of a name is this? I mean, I've heard of kids being named after drinks, but this? Christ, what has this world come to?

Sigh. You are not naming a child after a drink. In the Scandinavian languages, the word for "tea" is "te". The name is pronounced TEE-ah or TAY-ah. This is simply a variant of Thea. It's not a variant of CHOCOLATE.

And her twin brother can be coffee.

I prefer the spelling Tia.

An alternate spelling option is Teea. I saw it in a baby name book.

This word is NOT pronounced like the drink. It's basically pronounced like the name Thea. You don't pronounce that [TEE], do you?
It's pronounced kind of like [T-AY-A], but the end of [AY] is not really there.
[to English-speaking people: I KNOW I'm making no sense xD you just have to come to Estonia or go to Finland and listen to people who know how to pronounce it]

Also a girls' name in Croatia. [noted -ed]

It is not pronounced "TEE", like a drink! Some people from English-speaking countries have to realize that you just can't pronounce some names like that. It is pronounced TAY-uh or TEH-ah (Croatian pronunciation). Before you post comments such as: "Christ, what has this world come to?, This is a drink, not a name. It's like having coffee as a name" inform yourself on the subject you're commenting. I know a few girls named Tea, and they are not teased or anything. World isn't made up just of native English speakers.

The name is also used in Estonia.

Argh, ignorant English speaking people!

The name Tea is a perfectly normal name. Like said above, the drink is called Te in European countries - at least it is in Denmark. This is a two syllable name, a variation of Thea (which in Denmark has a silent h, has the same pronunciation and therefore is the exact same name) and therefore it has nothing to do with any kinds of hot drinks.

It's not an English name. It says right there- Usage: Scandinavian, Finnish, Slovene, Croatian. Many languages would pronounce it as two syllables, excluding English (and it isn't even consistent). Any jokes about her twin being named Coffee aren't clever or funny.
Anyway, I think it's too simple as a full name.

There is also a name "Teea" in Finland (though it's quite rare - I've never met any other Teea's with two e's) - it's pronounced the same way than Tea, so the difference is only in writing form.
