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
