Have you considered Tatiana ? Or Tessa ?
Those are my favorite "T" names.

I voted for Tailyn, but only if it's pronounced TAY-lyn.... I also wanted to suggest Tasia pronounced Tuh-SEE-uh or TO-see-uh (O as in olive) instead of Taisha... Just a suggestion...I used to work with a girl named Anastasia that went by Tasia (Tuh-see-uh) and always loved the name.

I couldn't vote. I love Tatianna but it's not on your list. I'd use it if I didn't have a niece named that. I am not a huge fan of any of the names on your list. Sorry.

I voted for Tania b/c it's my name. :o)
No, seriously, I don't think it's used oftenenough. I'm 31 and I've only met 1 other person in my life, w/all the dif. places I've lived, who's name's spelled the same. And it's not Tan-ya, like the color tan, it's pronounced like Tonya. And no, it doesn't rhyme w/Shania! LOL! Is that how you pronounce it, too? Like Tonya?

I know this isn't the question you asked, but leave it to me to butt in and put my $.02 worth in. I don't like for siblings' names to start with the same letter. I know a lot of people do; but I do have reasons for my opinion. I think it can be confusing, esp. if the sister look a lot alike. Also, I think each child's name stands out more and is prettier when you find names that sound good together without being to similar. Just my opinion...

On the other hand, I LOVE T- names and you have some neat ones on your list. I voted for Talia-it's one of my all time fave T-s. But I also adore a few that I didn't see on the list- Tabatha, Tallulah, Talitha, Tanith, Tierney (sounds like tears you cry- tear-nee), Tess/Tessa & Teagan.

But just for the sake of fun- would you put any of the following with Tiara, say it a few times together, then try another "T" name with Tiara, and see if you get my point...

Tiara & Cassia, Tiara & Nicolette, Tiara & Kaylin, Tiara & Mia, Tiara & Bridget, Tiara & Chantal (shonn-tall), Tiara & Clarissa, Tiara & Alyssa, Tiara & Halle (hally)

Two interesting but subtle ways to connect siblings' name without making them too matchy are to use the next letter of the alphabet (S or U, in your case), reverse their initials (whatever Tiara' mn is would be the first letter of this baby's name with a T middle name) or to give them the same number of letters (that's what I did):

Tiara & Shantel, Tiara & Sienna, Tiara & Shayla, Tiara & Uma, Tiara & Unity

Same no. of letters- Tiara & Kayla, Tiara & Malia (muh-leah), Tiara & Raina, Tiara & Liana

If you stick with T's, I do really love Talia. Of your list, Trinity also sounds very good with Tiara and isn't quite so similar. Good luck, Ginger

Thanks so much for writing! I really appreciate your opinion so much. I do agree that having names with different first letters sounds very unique and that they do stand out more... but my DH and I decided (mainly his preference) that all of our children will have TLH initials like him and his 2 brothers have. So, that's why we're searching for "T" names... we thought we'd work on the "L" middle name later.


I also agree that saying "Tiara" with the other names a few times really cuts out quite a few of the names on my poll list. As much as Talia sounds so adorably cute... I think it's almost too similar to Tiara now. Trinity was our number one pick mainly because it's the most different from Tiara and we just love the sound and meaning of it. Tiara actually calls my tummy Trinity right now... it sounds so cute coming from the sweet little voice of a 3 year old.


Thanks again for writing & for your advice. I'll pass it on to my DH as well.

I am also a fan of linking baby's name to family. Now that I've heard your reason for staying with T, I'm in! I adore Trinity with Tiara of your choices. Very best wishes, Ginger

I don't like any of your names, sorry. I voted for Talia because it's the least weird. My favorite T name is Tess. I also like Tegan and Tierney...well, not really, but I like them better than the names on your list, which all sound made-up. Your reasoning for the T name is sweet, though.

And, a little food for thought...don't you think it's a little silly to name your 2nd child a name that means "holy three"? This won't be the third member of your family, nor will it be your third child. Just a thought...

Thanks everybody for your opinions... as much as I know some of the names on the list would create some major dislike and vice versa... I really get to know a lot about what the public will think of the names if we do choose to name our daughter one of these. I apprecaite all positive/negative/in-between... but most of all, honest, opinions! Thanks!


To be honest, I'm actually kind of hoping for a little boy this time around. For a few reasons: 1. because I have always wanted a little boy and would love to see a boy and our DD interact. 2. to keep the family name going 3. to see what he'll look like and 4. because of the reason you said... trinity means holy 3... it'd be better if it's for the 3rd child. So... I guess we'll know around 20 weeks what we'll be going with. (I'm a little over 11 right now). I also like Trey for a boy if it was a 3rd child as a boy... because of the meaning too.


I really love the name Talia too, very much! But, I think Talia and Tiara are just too similar. I can imagine kids calling and asking for one of them on the phone and me having to ask twice or something. I think that sticking with a T name that has a very different sound (or doesn't end in "a") may be the best route... however, I seem to really love names that end in "a"! Oh, and the reason for Talivia (made up name) is because my favorite name of all time right now is Olivia. But, it' just won't fit in our TLH initials that we have chosen to use for our family. But you're right... just sounds too made up.
