I'm not sure if you are asking for the correct pronunciation, or asking how individuals would say it, but the correct pronunciation of the name is TAHL-yuh

I believe the "technically correct" pronunciation is: TAHL-yuh (like Talia Shire, actress from the Rocky movies).

I pronounce it Tahl-ee-uh, a combo between your second and third choices.

I would pronounce this name one of three ways..I'm not sure which I like best:

1. TAHL-ee-ah

2. Tah-LEE-ah

3. TAHL-yah

I think if I were using this name for me own child, I'd use TAHL-ee-ah, but for someone else's baby, I would wait to find out how they pronounced it and then use the same pronunciation.

I think this is really a lovely name, whatever the pronunciation!

I agree. Tahl-yuh is the correct pronunciation. We considered that name for this baby if it's a girl.
