Re: Theresa
in reply to a message by Bear
Hmm. My mom's name is Theresa. I like it better than Teresa but not as much as Theresia. The main association I can think of is Mother Theresa. I tend to view it as dated because of my mom, but there actually aren't that many in her generation (and she's called Terri anyway). Therese might be better.Theresa Fae, Theresa Fay, Theresa Faye
Anastasia Theresa
Theresa Antonia
Theresa Margareta, Theresa Marguerite
Anne Theresa, Anna Theresa
Theresa Philippa
Theresa Wilhelmine
Theresa Marcella (my mom's name)

Odd. Mother Theresa didn't immediately pop to mind. Shame on me. That does help so thanks. I like the nn Terri, by the way. And Tess. Therese is nice, but I only like it the French way. In English the "-rees" sound on the end sounds so affected -- and the French isn't? Go figure . . . . From your list the most interesting / game changing:Theresa Antonia (It reminds me of Maria-Theresa and dd Marie Antoinette.)
Theresa Wilhelmine (Look at William dressed up as a girl making sheep's eyes at Theresa. What a flirt.)Thanks so much!
