I prefer Talia. I like the sound. (I pronounce it like Tah-lee-ah.)
Also, I know some Tanja/Tania/Tanya (Tahn-yah) and they do not make the name better.^^

Talia hands down, Tania sounds slightly tacky to me.

Talia because it is more unique (in my region with that spelling) and sounds nicer. Tania just sounds like a middle aged soccer mum, Talia ages better.

Hi !!!

Surely Talia !!

Talia is both the Italian form of Thalia (one of the Muses) and also a form of Talya meaning 'dew of God'!

Tanya reminds me a tacky trend in 1990s plus the horrible taenia parasite.

So sorry.......
But is it actually my first thought and I'm embarassed and annoyed too.

Tatiana, Tatjana and Tatyana are lovely names though. I especially like the form with the j.
