With the accent, I am prone to pronounce it as Tay-uh. Without an accent, I would probably pronounce it Tee-uh. I like the Tay-uh pronunciation, but not so crazy about the Tee-uh. HTH!

One last suggestion, I know two girls who spell it Thea. I like either spelling and it's a beautiful name. Good luck!

Like most people here, I see Tay-uh when I see Tea. I like the name very much.

And I've only seen it spelled one other way: Teija. I don't know where that spelling came from. But she was a former student who was bright, popular, and actually quite nice.

Good luck to you!

I would say TAY-YAH


I LOVE the sound of it! It is a gorgeous name. But I would worry that others could not spell or pronounce it.
