The name Thalia most certainly IS of Greek origin. Thalia was one of the three Muses. It's an ancient name, and has a different root than Talia.

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.
