Re: Teresa
in reply to a message by Janan
Teresa for me carries the possibility of the dreaded Terry / Terri, which I find prohibitive and incurably ugly.
Teresa/Theresa never ended up as my favorites but I love the little extra bump it gets with Theresia. For me that is what takes it from being a 1950's sort of companion to Sharon and Deborah to something more complex and regal.
One of my sort of 'top ten' combos is Theodora Theresia.

Teri, etc.
I love Pamela. That's my 1950's throwback name of choice. :-) Plus my mother is Patricia, which is why it shows up in so many of my combos.
When I use Theresia as a first name in Create A Family games or whatever I give it the nickname Thea (TAY-a). I don't love it but I think Teri, etc. are just heinous. So better the former than the latter. :-P
Honestly, if I didn't prefer Theodora and, what's more, use them together in the same combo, I'd probably nickname Theresia "Theda." Close enough for me!
