Spelling variation for girls name - Talia, Tahlia or Taliah

**ChocChai** · April 8th, 2010, 12:04 AM

I like the sound of the name when you say it, but not sure of the spelling, Talia looks like the name isn't complete (?) but what is the most popular way to spell it? Middle name will be Rose.

Thanks!

I like it spelled Tahlia best.....it looks cool and makes sense for how it sounds

i know it as tahlia

I always knew it as Tahlia until my belly belly group where we have a talia. Now i have trouble spelling it any other way.. lol

I like both Talia and Tahlia.

It's a beautiful name especially with Rose.

That's one of my favourite names.

Just to add to your confusion, I've also seen it as Thalia. I think Talia or Tahlia are best. And Rose is a beautiful middle name. All the best!

I like Tahlia as well. Talia reminds me of Bratz.

Talia. The extra H looks like it has been shoehorned in, to my eyes. I also know a Thalia, don't like the look of that spelling either.

Definitely Talia. It looks a bit more classic, like it's a shortened version of Natalia.

Thanks for your feedback! So hard to decide...baby was due last week and i was going to worry about spelling after it was born, but realised its something i probably want to sort out before sending out messages! I had been thinking the 'h' in Tahlia looks like it's put there just for the sake of it, so that's why i wasn't too sure but it kinda looks cute too. And since it seems the most common way of spelling it, would mean that it wouldn't have to be spelt out each time.

Nickname would be Tali...so that's why i was considering Taliah...if it was Tahlia, the nickname would just be minus the 'a'...i'm sure it doesn't really matter in the end!

My mums DH (not my dad, her 2nd husband) has a niece called Tahlia - spelt that way. I've honestly never seen it spelt any differently! HTH

I prefer Tali on its own

But Talia is my preferred spelling for the longer version

**Glamourcide** · April 8th, 2010, 10:18 AM

Talia, for sure. The 'h' is unnecessary and makes it look like you're trying too hard to be 'creative' with your spelling.

I like Tahlia or Talia.
Other spellings I've come across are Tarlia, Talea, Tarlea, Tahlea.
Great choice of name, I have it on my list

My DD is Tahlia Rose!

Great name! I find most people spell it correctly, occassionaly she gets Thalia which I think would be pronounced completely differently, so dont know why people do it!
