Either spelling, I have no preference. I find it vintage, along the same lines as Margot, Edith and Agnes but I don't like it as much as I like those three. Tessa is very cute and makes it more relatable, but I dislike Tess and Tessie a lot!

I like Theresa, it's a nice classical name. I do prefer Teresa, or even more, Terese.

It's near the top of my "names I should like, but don't" list. Theresa is doughy, dull-eyed, and about as interesting as a thin slice of white bread.

Between the two spellings, I prefer Theresa, but it's not a strong preference.

I prefer it with the Th. But I find it stodgy either way - I much prefer Tessa.

If my first child had been a girl, she would have been called Teresa. No H. I still like this name a lot. The only thing is, because we lived in southern Arizona, I noticed Teresa often was pronounced tuh-RAY-zuh. I would have wanted her to be called tuh-REE-suh.

I like Theresa and consider it classic. It would definitely be unexpected these days. You could nickname her something like Tess or Reese to liven it up a bit. I prefer Theresa to Teresa.

I prefer Teresa because I always want to say Theresa with a 'th' sounds at the beginning. Teresa is just more logical with the way I pronounce it.

My Grandma is called Teresa and so is my aunt, although she goes by Tess.

I love Theresa. Well, like. I don't know. I used to find it bland but I've been warming up to it. I certainly like it but I don't know if I love it yet.

I'm surprised to say I like Theresa more. Teresa just seems incomplete.

I like it but don't love it. I'd far prefer to see it on a newborn than many other names that are popular now. I prefer Theresa to Teresa. I generally prefer extra letters when they are commonly accepted.

I've always liked it. Never out of style and never trendy. I think I like Theresa better even though the h is totally unnecessary.

I find Theresa VERY hoary. Yes, I do prefer Teresa which is okay, but prefer Thérèse by miles, and would consider using that form.
