Lots of Jewish/Hebrew name are common among non-Jews. Same with Irish names for non-Irish.

Right, but this isn't a Jewish/Hebrew name that is common among non-Jews. It's not the same as naming your kid Sarah or Rachel (or Maeve or Fiona). If OP isn't Jewish, it's like naming your kid Saoirse and you're not Irish.

That’s ridiculous. For someone so focused on getting others to respect your heritage, you’re awfully flippant about erasing other people’s heritage.

Elena?
Hanna?
Delia?
Siena?
Not Samantha or Savannah
Gia?
Julia?
Mia? Not Maya.
Sofia?
Mara?
Rhea?

I only like it when it’s pronounced with 3 syllables Tah—Lee—Ah = Talia and sounds very pretty.

I don’t like it when it’s rushed and all the vowels are skipped Tall—Yu sounds like you don’t want to say the name and you’re huffing it under your breath.

Love it. One of my daughter's friends growing up is Talia. She was cute, smart as a whip, and hilarious. First and only person I have known with the name.

To add: It is pronounced TAH-lee-yah.

There is a Mexican singer with a similar name, Thalia that is pronounced Ta-LEE-yah.

Both very pretty names.

Oh, that's interesting. The people I've known with the name Thalia are all Greek and it is pronounced TAH-lee-ah (like Natalia).

I know many Talia’s. Love the name. I only know one Natalie that goes by Tali. It’s a very popular name in my circle.

I know two women called Talia, but short for Natalia- one Catholic (assume Italian or Croatian background by both parents last names, mom maintained her maiden name).
The other has a Russian sounding last name.

Regardless of nickname or proper name, I think it is beautiful!

I like the name! The only association I have is Talia al ghul but that’s probably not very common lol.
