Just by reading

Tee-see-aah

I could see Tisha or Teesha however, and in certain languages the c would be hard, Teekee-ah or T'keeya

I'd say "Tisha". I think it looks prettier with the "s", if that is the right way to pronounce it. : )

answers from Redding on

My first thought was Tisha, but my son knows a girl whose name is pronounced Ti-KEE-ya. I have no idea how it's actually spelled.
People spell names so differently, it's hard to know how to pronounce them sometimes.
I had to try to figure out Riahyon today without offending anyone.

It was simply prounounced "Ryan".
Go figure.

Tisha
Tick-ee-ya (lol)
Ti-see-ya
Ti-shiya

Well, if we all can't figure it out, can you imagine how this person... everyday... she has to repeat 'how' to pronounce her name... to everyone?
Not fun.

Tee-see-uh, like Alicia. Of course,I think some people say Alee-shuh instead of Alee-see-uh, so I don't know.

I think I wouldn't know how to pronounce it and it would make me uncomfortable trying to guess.

Aha! Now the RESPOND button is working.
(grumble mumble)
I have already written privately.

I'm surprised no one here has ASKED
how does the person with that name
WANT her name to be pronounced?
I think that's the way it should be pronounced.

ALSO, I enjoyed seeing (from a couple of moms) T-KEE-ya.
That's the introduction to one of the blasts on the shofar
during Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashana . . . a blast of the horn
to get the attention of everyone around
for the important prayers and observances about to take place.

It looks like the ending of the name Patricia...without the 'r'. So I would pronounce it "Tisha."

I would pronounce it TISH-ah.

However, in this day and age I might also consider Ty-SHEE-ah.
