Tessara
I recently discovered this name, and since I love Tess names, this immediately fell into favor with me. :o)I know absolutely nothing about it (except that it's feminine), so I have no info to offer you. Based on sound alone (teh-SAH-ruh), WDYT of Tessara? Any combos spring to mind?

Like the tile?A tessera is a glass tile used in mosaic work. That doesn't make Tessera a bad name, it's actually sort of neat. It just makes it a word to me more than a name. It also reminds me of Tesla, as in the unit of magnetic induction. Or the guy.

Unless you're just big into tiles, it seems simply like a combo of Tess & Sara to me, which is nms (smooshing together two names, I mean).

huh. I was thinking it sounds like Tesla too. I thought I was going crazy from physics....I think it looks like Tessa, with ra added as an after-thought.

I love Tess and Sara, but together it just doesn't look good to me for some reson.

I do like the sound of it, but like Allie I'm reminded of tessaracts, and also of tesserae, which are the tiny little tiles in mosaics.But Tessara is at least as legit as Cassarah, which looks like it's a combination of Cass and Sarah, "que sera" notwithstanding, so I think it's fine.

Well, it combines two of my favorite name sounds (Tess & Ara), so I feel like I should love it, but I don't. It looks and sounds very made up to me.Tessara also reminds me of the tesseract from A Wrinkle in Time. I can almost hear Mrs. Whatsit saying "Speaking of ways, pet, by the way, there is such a thing as a Tessara." I think that makes me like it a little bit.

It may very well be.Made-up, I mean. The owner's surname is very Italian, though, so I'm wondering if it has Italian roots? Or not. :o) Funnily enough, I don't care for Ara, but I find Tessara (in which the Ara sound is very prominent) quite appealing.

It's not made-up, it's a wordIt's Latin in origin. A tessera (plural tesserae) is a glass tile used in a mosaic. I have my period interiors class to thank for that random bit of knowledge. :)

Tessera is a word, but Cambria is talking about Tessara.

I thought it was a combo of Tess and Sara. It does look made up. I googled, and it is, in fact, a word. Apparently a math one refering to quadrilaterals. A tessaraglot is someone who speaks four languages, or something. I want to prn it TES-er-ah, though.
