HelpTeresa
I want to name my daughter after my sister Terri, which is short for Teresa, but she doesn't want me to call a child Terri. I don't really want to call her Teresa, but I still want her named after my sister. I was thinking of Tillie even though it has no connection at all. My surname is Hennessy so I don't want too many "s"es. Any ideas?

Tessa?

WDYT of Tess, Tessa, Tera or Resa as nns for Teresa? I love Teresa and especially Tess.
ETA that while I think Tillie is cute, it's strictly a nn to me (for Matilda) and I don't care for it as a stand-alone name. It's quite precious, imo. Then again, I know a kitten named Tilly who is very sweet and affectionate. ;-)

Tillie is NMS to be honest, but I think that it would be okay to use a "T" name that is unrelated to Teresa as a way to honor your sister. You might also consider giving your daughter a middle name that starts with the same letter as your sister's middle name, so that her first and middle name initials would match your sister's initials.
Some other ideas:
Therese / Terese (maybe as a MN if Therese and Terese are too close to Teresa for your liking?)
Teresia
Thera
Terra
Tara - It's not related to Terri and Teresa, but it's at least somewhat similar to Terri in terms of sound (depending on how you pronounce it).
Tarina
Tirzah
Tori
