Help[Opinions] Re: Teresa / Theresa
in reply to a message by peonini
I was going to name my first baby Teresa had he been a girl. So it's obvious I like the name. My enthusiasm for it isn't what it used to be though.
We would have pronounced Teresa te-REE-sah. However we lived in a heavily Hispanic area of the US, 60 miles from the border with Mexico. If I'd had a girl named Teresa, she would have found her name often pronounced te-RAY-sa, which would have been a little unsettling I suppose, but no big deal.
Incidentally my son (that first baby) has said the name Teresa is "lame."
