Comments for TEA:
There is a character in the popular anime Yu-Gi-Oh with the name Tea.-- Ayame77 9/19/2005
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.-- Anonymous User 3/14/2006
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.-- Anonymous User 5/17/2006
This is a drink, not a name. It's like having coffee as a name.-- Anonymous User 8/26/2006
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.-- Anonymous User 1/30/2010
This name is pronounced "TEE-ah". Not the same as the drink called tea.-- Lena Is A Secret 11/26/2006
Actress, Tea Leoni is a famous bearer.-- Hailey2006 11/26/2006
If Tea was the name of a triplet, the other would be Coffee and the other one would be Hot Chocolate.-- Anonymous User 1/6/2007
Also a girls name in Slovenia.-- earthnut 7/3/2007
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.-- Anonymous User 7/30/2007
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.-- Anonymous User 2/12/2008
This name will cause too much teasing throughout life.-- bananarama 10/13/2008
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?-- GunsnRoses8794 11/24/2008
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.-- Caprice 2/5/2009
And her twin brother can be coffee.-- Likeyeahwhatev 3/6/2009
I prefer the spelling Tia.-- kool_babe14 5/13/2009
An alternate spelling option is Teea. I saw it in a baby name book.-- Anonymous User 11/6/2009
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]-- MaryAuksi 12/13/2009
Also a girls' name in Croatia. [noted -ed]-- goricar 12/22/2009
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.-- XxproudrulerxX 1/9/2010
The name is also used in Estonia.-- Britttu 6/5/2010
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.-- Anonymous User 6/8/2010
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.-- bathos 7/30/2010
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.-- Dizabella 12/23/2010
