Teresa

I’ve always thought that Teresa was a nicer spelling than Theresa; it looks so beautiful. Overall, I think that Teresa is a gem of a girl name, and I’m surprised that it’s not popular (anymore).

I prefer Theresa over Teresa but it’s a beautiful, timeless, classy name regardless. Terese can be a cute nickname for Teresa.

I hate this name. There was a very mean woman I knew with this name hideous monster of a name.

I even like Theresa. It's so beautiful and very feminine. ❤❤.

Better than the still-pretty Theresa imao.

This name is old-fashioned in a refreshing way. Kind of like wading in a clear, cool pool on a hot, sunny day.

Yes! I love it! Better than the spelling Theresa IMAO.

Teresa is so beautiful! I prefer this spelling to Theresa. :)

This is my name and I love it! It’s not super common where I live. I’ve only met three other Teresas, and we don’t live near each other either. I’ve always loved my name, it’s pretty, it can be cute, I love the meaning and the way it looks and sounds. Any name could easily go with this! Teresa Rose, Teresa Claire (like me), Teresa Ava, Teresa Marie, Teresa Anne, etc etc. I am named after St. Teresa of Avila, who is one of my Dad’s favorite saints, I love all the quotes and stories attributed to her. If you are considering this name for your child, I highly recommend it! The only downside is that it gets misspelled and mispronounced often, though I’ve never encountered anyone doing this maliciously— Theresa and Therese are just more common. My name does get misspelled with an H a lot of the time, but it just takes a simple correction. Unfortunately, some people try to nickname me as “Therese” or “Terese” (pronounced Ter-Reese), but it doesn’t happen often and again, it just takes a simple correction. I love this name, I definitely want to give it to one of my future children as a middle name.

This name reminds me of Barbie. I prefer the spelling Theresa.

Better than Theresa.

Teresa is spelled without the “h” in Asia where I was born; but in Canada, it’s often misspelled as Therese. The name reflects my serious nerdy side, but I prefer my nickname Terry, which suits my youthful and witty comedic side. It’s easier to pronounce, and more easygoing to break the ice with people.

This is my name. I got Teresa Jean and my fraternal twin is Lisa Jane. I am now 54 years old and I have never been through a time that I have disliked my name. It doesn't get spelled correctly very often and I usually get asked if it has an H. I was often called Terry in jr high school, upsetting me and a teacher always seemed to get a kick out of that, as she continued to call me Terry no matter how many times I corrected her. I am always thrilled to have it pronounced correctly. Many pronounce it with 2 syllables Tree sa but it is actually 3 syllables. I hated when my sister called me Tessa and wouldn't stop when she knew I hated the teasing. Overall, I love my name and am thankful my parents gave it to me.

Super duper common. I had a friend who had 6 cousins all called Teresa, after the grandmother (Apparently if you were named after the grandmother, you got certain inheritance advantages). To differentiate, they had to call them a nickname, or by their first and second names together. It was a bit weird. Sort of greedy too, naming your kid after granny not to honour her, but to get stuff when she dies. Ick.

Teresa is not common. In 2018, it ranked #794 most popular in the United States. It’s not even in the top 500. My name is Teresa and I’ve only met three other Teresas in my life, and one of them doesn’t even live in the same state as me. Please don’t judge this name because your friend’s aunts and uncles wanted your friend’s Grandma’s stuff. This name actually has a lot of saintly associations (there are at least four Catholic saints names Teresa) and means “summer” or “harvest”. It’s not icky or common and doesn’t deserve to be associated with your friend’s aunts and uncles wanting your friend’s Grandma’s stuff. May I ask, did you even meet any of all the Teresas you mentioned?

The first time I had discovered this name was when I was little and I found out Teresa is a friend of Barbie. XD It's not a bad name. :)

I myself am called Teresa. I love this name and it's better than Theresa of course! It's a lovely name.

My name is Teresa. I was named after St. Teresa. St. Teresa gathered food and gave to the poor. And when she opened her robes God had performed a miracle and changed the harvest she had gathered to roses. The "Little flower of Jesus."

My grandpa called my grandma "Tre" pronounced "trey". I thought this was cute (: If my cousin has twins, she's going to name one Theresa but call her "Tree." If not, this one's nickname is going to be "Reese". Love that!

This is really a lovely, classic name. I don't think it will ever lose its charm. And like others said, way better than Theresa.

A very pretty name, and I also prefer it spelled this way, without the H.

I've always liked this name. It's pretty and not too common.

Who doesn't like the name Teresa? Do not spell it with an H!

This is my best friend's name and I think it's absolutely beautiful. This spelling is much prettier then Theresa.

I personally love that name because it is the name of a very dear friend.

I think this spelling looks way better than Theresa.
