Talia—like it?

Anonymous
I like it a lot.

I prefer spelling it Thalia, though, as it appears in Greek mythology. She was Zeus' daughter, and one of the Three Graces.

I don't like it, but that doesn't mean it's a bad name, just not to my taste. If you like it you should go for it. I recognize that it is a dignified sounding name.

I love it so much but we aren't Jewish so we didn't use it

Thalia is not the same name.

This. At least, for Jews. Not sure if non-Jews would be familiar with it and therefore make the same assumption.

Love it... but these comments are mostly from non jews I can tell. I know at least 5 talias and none are short for Natalia.

Think this entirely depends on your demographics of where you socialize! If your kid will be at jewish preschool, camping etc then they will know many Talias- if they hang out with the people in this thread then perhaps not

All the people I've met with the name Talia were conservative or orthodox Jews. It's not a nickname for Natalia, neither is it a Greek name.

I work at a preschool and there is a little girl named Talia. It is a cute name and not very common yet in this age bracket, imho. Go for it. (FWIW, I am not Jewish nor is this a Jewish preschool.)

I am Jewish and know more than one Talia so the name is totally fine to me but I would assume your family is Jewish. Naming a non Jewish kid that is to me like naming a non-Irish kid Siobhan - you can do that but it’s a little odd.

It is a good name. Agree it is considered more commonly a Jewish name.
