Help[Opinions] Re: Opinions on Tessa?
in reply to a message by oath
Do you have a middle name? Can you use that?
Is your full name Theresa? Are you looking for something similar to your real name?
No, it is easy to spell and pronounce. But I dislike it. I think it sounds incredibly harsh and somewhat dated even though it was never popular. I can't think of any jokes. I have known two Tessas one should be mid-20s now, one early 30s.
I much prefer Tess which I find softer and prettier.

No, I have a Chinese name, meaning my full name is three characters in Chinese and three separate words in English, but the first is the surname and the last two are the first name. So my first name is nothing like any variation of Tessa at all -- in fact thinking of it now it could probably sound incredibly pompous to use such an 'English' name (the language not the people).
Haha I'm kind of grateful to find someone who doesn't like it :) I'm very biased on what I think of names, and usually I just get influenced by the personality of someone/a character I know that has that name. In this case I've only ever known characters called Tessa or Tess, and I liked both of them. The two syllables in Tessa got me in the end though. Plus the 'A' at the end gives a little extra guarantee that people write both 'S'es (I hope)
