Thalia

__DEGRADED__ Thalia is graceful and timeless, with a one-of-a-kind sound. Greek mythology girl names like Phoebe and Athena are having a moment, but Thalia — one of the Three Graces, and a Muse of comedy and poetry — is something of an underdog. The name rose sharply in the early 1990s, and has been present in the Top 1000 ever since, never overly popular, but never dropping away either. The initial Th- sound makes it pretty unusual among girl names. There is only one Th- name in the US Top 500 — Thea — and the next after that is Thalia itself. I’ve also heard it pronounced with a “T” sound, like Talia, linking it with this sweet multicultural name.

"So What Would You Say You Do Here"

There isn’t a clean way to package what I do into a single title, mostly because it’s not one thing, and it doesn’t happen in neat blocks.
