[Opinions] Re: Theresa
in reply to a message by Bear
My grandmother's name is Marie Theresa which I like. I like it more in the middle name slot, I feel like it can put names that are modernly popular into a classic setting like:Emma Theresa
Eva Theresa
Katherine Theresa
Elizabeth Theresa
Clara TheresaRosaline Theresa / Rosalind Theresa
Rosamund Theresa
Rose Theresa
Charlotte Theresa
Martha Theresa
Violet Theresa
Iris Theresa
Personally I like Therese:Mary Therese
Cora Therese
Grace Therese
Katherine Therese
Julia Therese
Viola Therese
Virginia Therese
Matilda Therese

Mmm. Therese is really nice, especially on paper. Nice combos! I especially like Cora Therese.

I like that idea: using it as a mn to give otherwise popular fns a more classic feeling. Marie Theresa, Rosalind Theresa, Charlotte Theresa and Violet Theresa stand the most to my eyes. :-)As for Therese, in the mn position I can more easily use my preferred French pronunciation. Mary Therese is darling. Viola Therese is romantic. Your mother's name is very elegant. Do you mind if I tweak it a little to Marie Therese? I know it's more obvious, but I can't help but fall in love with it a little. I think I'll use Marie Therese as my gateway combo to help me embrace the full Theresa experience.

Haha, that's totally fine. I tweaked it to Mary Therese though I don't really want to use it (not the best association for me) but I'm glad you like it. I thought the pronunciation might be an issue with some people which is why I always used it as a middle name as well.
