My name is Thaïs, which I spell with the diaeresis on the letter i. I'm rather surprised there's no comment under this name. I like how this name is associated with the Greek companion to Alexander the Great, as well as Massenet's opera. I pronounce my name differently from what's given on this website though. TAH-i-s or tah-EES. The former is what most English speakers around me would use and the latter is what I heard from the opera (likely a French pronunciation?) Due to how uncommon this name is and how the pronunciation is often butchered, and the misconception that the name is somehow associated with Thailand, lately I've been considering a name change to Thalia.
