I'd pronounce it Ta-litha, not sure if that's correct though. :D~

looks like Teh-li-thah like Tabitha, with the "L" instead of "B"

I thought the same thing! At first I would have wanted to pronounce it ta-leeth-a as some others suggested, but since I know it was mentioned in another post (yours too nat? I can't remember) as a Biblical name, I'd assume it was pronounced much like Tabitha, but with the L -- Tal-i-tha.

I read it like Tabitha, except with an L. I am not sure if I like that pronounciation or not, but I do agree that Tally would be a cute nickname!

Talitha is an old Aramaic name that means "little girl. It's very Christian--it's what Jesus says to bring a little girl back from death.

It's pronounced TAL-i-tha.
