Talia pronunciation 🇬🇧

We are pretty set on Talia for our little girl and I've loved the name forever. However I myself have a hard to pronounce name and always swore I wouldn't inflict that on my child! I've only recently become aware that there are a few different ways people pronounce the name, with two of them being used equally often. I only have one pronunciation of the name that I love so wondered how you would interpret it (we are UK based so these are with a British accent in mind!)

My daughter’s name is Taliya. I picked it with the second pronunciation in mind but I have friends/ nursery practitioners who call her the first. I love either way tho!

I'd say its a regional difference so depends where you live. I know a little girl called Tali and she is known as Tally but there are still people local to her who sometimes call her Tar-lee and theyre down south. Its like bath/barf, castle/carstle!!!

Love the name! I've taught a few and they have been pronounced Tar-lee-uh or Tah-lee-uh

I think Talia is correct for option 1 and Tahlia for 2. Same with Dalia and Dahlia.

I'd say it Tal-ee-a but I'm dyslexic and say it how it sounds. Like saying Italia without the I.

i'm in the UK and i think i would automatically pronounce it as Tally-uh, but also wouldn't think anything of it if someone were to correct me and say it was Tahh-lee-uh. maybe it depends on where in the UK you live, cos I would pronounce Talia in the same way I would pronounce it in the name Natalia, but i have heard that name pronounced with a Tahh-lee-Uh ending too!

Depends if they are black or brown I tend to pronounce it Tahh-lee-ah and I pronounce Thalia tally-uh

My daughters name is Taliyah and its pronounced tahh lee uh but Talia i would pronounce tallyuh

I have it on my list but spelled Tahlia

Tal ya

I’m from near Manchester and I pronounce it the first way and my fiancé is from Norfolk and he pronounces it the second way 🤣

I would say the first option but I know a girl spell it the way you do and goes by the swcond

Tahl-ya

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
