I've never been a fan of Theresa. I think Tessa is adorable though! :)

Oh, I loved it at one time, especially the nn Tess. I loved how Tess feels rather vintage, and hasn't been overused (at least in the US). Tessa fell off my list eventually, though I'm not sure why. Perhaps it should be brought back.

It's okay. I strongly prefer/love Tess.

Tess feels timeless to me, whereas Tessa has such a trendy feel to it. Oh, what a difference just one letter can make!

I like Tessa on its own, but I much prefer Tess. Tessa is more trendy and popular and I think Tess just feels classic and beautiful, which I love!

I love Tessa. I also prefer Tess slightly, but in the case where maybe I'd use Tessa nn Tess

I really like Tessa and as a full name. I really don't like Theresa, that may be why.

I love Tessa. Like you, I'm not fond of short forms as full names, but I think that Tessa is one of the few that stands well alone.

I like it but I slightly prefer Tess. I imagine a Tess being confident and artistic. Tessa seems a bit frumpier. I prefer both to Teresa which is too dated imo to use these days.

I think it's a perfectly nice name on its own and slightly nicer as a nickname for Teresa or something else.

I also like Tess a little more than Tessa.

I like it as a full name.

LOVE the name Tessa! It's so sweet and girly, but still kind of spunky too. Not a fan of Theresa, so Tessa and Tess are both nicer imo.

Well I'm a bit biased necause I know this Tessa. She's like the epitome of the cheerleader stereotype. And she is a cheerleader! She's just so ditzy and loose that I can't help but hate her a bit. I don't like those kind of names anyway. It's too current. I like oldfashioned.
