Thaila

WDYT about Thaila (pronounced like Tyler)? It's the first name of the actress who recently played the fake housemate on the UK version of Big Brother.

Personally, I think it looks a lot more feminine that Tyler, which is sometimes used as a girl's name, but I still don't like it. I think it's probably because I just don't like Tyler as a name anyway.

NB: ThaILa, not ThaLIa. So the pronunciation is like the beginning of Thailand, then a short "a" sound (which to me is very similar to an "er" sound, but apparently not to everyone the world over).

Hmmm...that's interesting she seems to go by both - googling both "Thaila Zucchi" and "Thalia Zucchi" comes up with stuff about her. I feel quite sorry for her now, having so much confusion over her name. That's got to be annoying.
