Help[Opinions] Re: Tessa/Teresa
in reply to a message by Telfalathiel
I'm with you, I prefer Tess or Tessa over Theresa / Teresa.
I pronounce Teresa / Theresa two ways intuitively depending on the language it's used in. In English: tə-REE-sə, in German: teh-REH-zah. However I tend to assume Teresa to be English when I see it written down and Theresa to be German. I'm aware that's not how it is but as we're talking about intuition...
I don't know any other name Tessa could work as a nickname for but I think Tessa could work as a full first name.
