    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

    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!

    Just to throw in a curveball, I like Rowellen's spelling of Tarlia.

    Whichever way you spell it though, the name Talia Rose is a beautiful name.

    I prefer Tali on its own
    But Talia is my preferred spelling for the longer version
