Hello, I’ve never posted here before, and I was wondering what others think of the name Kesa? Kesa is an anagram of a family surname that will not live on, but I would like to preserve the name in a modern way. I have one child with a top 50 name, and have never gravitated towards unusual names before. I am a teacher, and choosing a name that is easily pronounced is important for me.
I know a Jesa (JES-uh), so I’d guess KES-uh for Kesa. My BF just reminded me that we also know a Kena ([name]KEN[/name]-uh), which reinforces KES-uh for me.
ETA, for thoughts: I like the sentiment behind it, but I’m not sure if I like the name or if I’m pronouncing it correctly.
I would pronounce it KES-uh. I think it would typically be pronounced that way, too. It’s an interesting name. I like the thought behind it.
My first thought was KES-uh, too.
I would pronounce like [name]Tessa[/name] with a K. It may be assumed to be a misspelling of [name]Kesha[/name] and does come across as a made up name but the story behind it may make it worth it.
I agree with pps: KES-ah
The background behind Kesa is cute, but it could be seen as a misspelling or something made-up. I think I like Kestrel or [name]Cassia[/name] (casha or cassie-ah) better. On the positive side, I’ve always liked [name]Kess[/name] as a nickname for a girl :).
I also agree with [name]Kess[/name]-uh. I met a little [name]Kess[/name] once. I think Kesa is very cute.
[name]Kessa[/name]. Although you might get kee-suh. Can you add that extra “s”???
[name]Love[/name] the idea behind it. Like everyone else I would pronounce it like [name]Tessa[/name] with a K
Looks to close to “[name]Kesha[/name]” for me. So I automatically picture the singer.
I thought it would be pronounced kee-sa. I would use a double ‘s’ like [name]Tessa[/name] and [name]Bess[/name] to make it completely obvious.
