I like this name. Right now my favourite spelling is Thecla but Thekla is gaining on it again. I think Tecla is my least favourite.

---

I would probably pair it with something lighter and more youthful, so from yours I like Tecla Susanna best. I'd maybe go with Thecla Olivia or Thecla Melody.

I prefer Tekla, which I like, with Thekla being a distant 2nd choice. I have the same word associations that aussiechic04 mentioned with the c spellings, plus they just look off to me.

Tecla reminds me more of heckler or tech than Tesla. It’s not my thing, it’s quite spiky, like claws.
I’d prefer Theokleia with nn Thea, Tea or Kleia or Kleio.

---

Of your combos I like:
Tecla Irene
Tecla Beatrice
Tecla Rosamund

It is pretty close to Tesla - enough that I'd expect occasional confusion. It doesn't confuse or bother me personally, unless I think about it really hard. Also the sound of "tech" in it. Tesla / tech ... But I probably wouldn't think of it if I met one.

I think any other spelling is better than Tecla. It does look incomplete.
I think the Th is a little confusing but it does make the name look more complete to me.
However Tekla is better than Thekla imo. Thekla looks too dramatic to me. Thunder and lightning. Dragons. Why? I don't know! nms though.
Thecla is better than Tekla, and it gmv as best spelling. Has the most pleasing look.

It's a neat name ... too bad Theokleia isn't really a thing. It's more appealing to me than any other version.

My sister used to be friends with a Tecla.
I like it. It feels grand and dignified whilst being nice and short.
However, I don't know how well this name could work in real life - it's very similar to Tesla, and imo it sounds more like a brand name than an actual girl name.
Also I like it better when it's spelled Thekla or Tekla.

Out of your combos I like Tecla Sophonisba and Tecla Eugenia!

I prefer Thekla / Thecla over Tecla but it was sounds incomplete and reminds me of Tesla in my opinion.
