[Opinions] Re: Tessa/Teresa
in reply to a message by Telfalathiel
How do you intuitively pronounce Teresa? ta-REE-sa
Is there a spelling that is more intuitively pronounced teh-REH-sah? The closest would be Therese/Terese.
Is there a name, other than a form of Teresa, that you think Tessa would work as a nickname for? Tessan, Tesni, Tisipone, Anaitis, Anastasie
Is Tessa alright as a full first name, or is it strictly a nickname? Definitely alright as a full name. It sounds as fullname-y as any two syllable name ending in a (Eva, Ava, Maia, Emma, Ella, Lila, Isla, Keira, Mia, Bella, etc). No matter what they tell you, do not doubt Tessa as a full name!!
ETA: Would it be too much of a stretch to use Artemisia "Tessa"? Meh, I guess maybe you could do it, but it doesn't seem like it would happen naturally. While I would never endorse using Artemisia on a real child, Timmy/Timmi/Timy might be kind of cute on a little girl.
