I like it! I'd make combos like:

---

Tessa Madeline
Tessa Lorelei
Tessa Jade
Tessa Brooke
Tessa Corinne

One of my best friends at school was a Tessa, with no mn as her parents couldn't agree on one.

I would use Tessa contentedly, given enough daughters. And I like it enough not to stick it in the middle!

Tessa Kathleen
Tessa Juliet
Tessa Marianne
Tessa Clare
Tessa Gillian

Having read the other responses, I've known more Tessa people than T(h)eresa people, and I've never known a T(h)eresa use Tessa as a nn. They've either used the full form, or gone by Terry. But I do know a Tessa whose birth name is Tertia (or perhaps Tersia; never seen it written down) because she had two elder sisters and her parents had run out of girl names. Now she's a contented Tessa with grown-up children, so age about 50 I imagine.

I like it, it's in my Top 20. I prefer it as a nickname for Theresa.
My go to combo is Tessa Genevieve. Not sure about it as a middle name, I think it would be hard to pair.

I much prefer it as a nickname for Therese/Theresa.

I know a Tessa. Her grandma is Teresa.

Tessa Elizabeth
Tessa Claire
Tessa Kate / Cate
Tessa June
Tessa Katherine / Catherine
Tessa Juliette
Tessa Odette

I don't like it because it sounds babyish, like a little kid who hasn't quite gotten the hang of talking, only I'm not sure what Tessa is even baby talk for. It's like Jessa and Chrissa that way.

Its nice, but I prefer it as a nickname for T(h)eresa.
