Tessa for sure.

Tessa definitely as Tessie sounds more like a child’s nickname where as Tessa can be a full name. If I was looking for a nickname for Teresa or Theresa though then my favourite is Tressa.

Tessa. It sounds more complete as a name. Tessie seems like a nickname for Tessa or Theresa.

Both are super cute. What about Tessa “Tessie”?

Tessa

Tessa, no contest.

Tessa, nn "Tessie"

Tessa

But I would prefer Teresa, Tess, or even Reesa first

Tessa NN Tessie. It's a beautiful name. :)

I love Tessie as a nickname. While Tessa's also a nickname, it's more usable to me as a full name.

I like Tessie's sound, it's cute, but Tessa is better as both a first name and a nickname for Teresa. Tess can also work as a given name.

Tessa is a full name in its own right. (OK, it can also be a nn for Theresa.) Tessie is the nn form. So, name your child Tessa (I'd love to do that, but not enough daughters in my life) and use Tessie as a friendly nn. Two for the price of one!
