Re: Tecla
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
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.
