Re: Opinions on Tessa?
in reply to a message by oath
Tessa is a great name, honestly. While it started out as a nickname / diminutive (of Teresa / Theresa), it was different enough from the original that it became its own name (like Molly, Sadie, Jack, etc.). In years past I preferred just Tess, but now I find Tessa to be more substantial.I doubt anyone could make any jokes based on Tessa. The only one I can think of would be related to a "test," and I think that would be a bigger problem for a Tess than a Tessa ("Tess will take the test, and so will everyone else!"). Then again, I suppose there's also the Barefoot Contessa cooking show to consider...***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

Thanks for your response!
I doubt anyone at my school would make any English-based puns, since most speak their mother tongue as much as possible. Though to be completely honest I've never heard of the 'Barefoot Contessa' cooking show, so I'd be more surprised at the joke than any kind of upset :)
