Help[Opinions] it's also a band (youtube link included)
in reply to a message by Array
They had a song back in 1989 called simply "Love Song." Actually a very good song, but pretty much their one claim to mainstream fame. They are your quintessential "hair metal" band.
For that reason, rather than the inventor, I don't really see Tesla asa usable fn, though I know it has been done occasionally. One advantage I can see (the only one, really) is that it lacks the baby-talk sound I get from Tessa.
I don't see Tertia and Terasia as names either. Maybe I absorbed too much medical terminology when I was a transcriptionist, but I know that tterato is a prefix referring to birth defects, as in teratogenic, meaning causing birth defects. And Tertia, aside from just sounding ugly to me, remind sme of tertiary, as in tertiary or third-stage syphilis. Yuck.
I'm going to look up a link for "Love Song" and will come back here and post it for you.

Yes, unfortunately the name of the band sticks in my mind, too. Soon after their brief popularity, a few little girls named Tesla and Teslyn popped up. So I don't have the best impression of the name for those reasons. As for the scientist, I think of it as a surname with him, and not a name for a girl, even if she is named for him.
BTW, Tesla also did a remake of "Signs", so at least they weren't a one hit wonder. :b
