I like the name [name]Teresa[/name]/[name]Theresa[/name] but i think i actually prefer the name [name]Tessa[/name]…
First… do you think it can stand in its own?
Second… [name]Do[/name] you think it will age well?? ie. Could there be a Dr.[name]Tessa[/name]??
It can 100% stand on it’s own.
And there would never be a Dr. [name]Tessa[/name] unless it was her last name. Doctors don’t go by their first names like that.
Yes, I think it would age very well.
I like [name]Tessa[/name] & [name]Tressa[/name] egually…just not enough to use them for my own daughter. And being that I had a great aunt named [name]Tessa[/name], ages very well.
I think [name]Tessa[/name] can stand on it’s own. It’s the name of the sister in the movie 27 Dresses.
My friend is named [name]Tessa[/name]. She’s 20. So far it has aged well.
I wouldn’t use it but I do think it can stand on it’s own.
I’d persnally prefer it as a nickname, and I think [name]Tess[/name] sounds more grown up than [name]Tessa[/name] so if your daughte were to become a doctor or whatever she could be Dr. [name]Tess[/name] ______.
[name]Tessa[/name] isn’t my style but it can stand alone and it’ll age well
Yes, some do especially if they deal with children and teens. Also many of the female doctors and younger doctors I’ve met go by their first names
I’ve had a Dr. [name]Lynn[/name], a Dr. [name]Mark[/name], and a Dr. [name]Shelley[/name]
Although [name]Tessa[/name] would probably sound just fine on a female of any age, I prefer [name]Theresa[/name] with the nickname [name]Tessa[/name]. [name]Theresa[/name] just sounds a little bit more sophisticated to me.
My name is [name]Theresa[/name] but I’ve always been called [name]Tressa[/name].
I think it ages well, but perhaps I am a little biased 
I think [name]Tessa[/name] can stand on its own as much as [name]Jessa[/name] or [name]Emma[/name].
I also like [name]Theresa[/name] and [name]Tess[/name], so I really don’t think you could go wrong with any version of this name.
I agree with this.
[name]Tessa[/name] is a stand alone name and it doesnt have to be a nickname and it ages just fine…its very very pretty
[name]Tessa[/name] works alone or as a nickname for [name]Theresa[/name]. [name]Tess[/name] I feel is more of a nickname. I like all three.
I don’t see any problem whatsoever with using the name [name]Tessa[/name] in a professional capacity. In my work, I see doctors’ names all the time and some of them are very nick-namey.
Go for it.
I love the name [name]Tessa[/name], I think it will grow up just fine.
I love the name [name]Tessa[/name]. It’s one of my best friend’s names or I might have used it for the little girl I’m carrying I think it ages really well. My [name]Tessa[/name] is 30 and it seems fine on her.
I also like [name]Tessa[/name] better than [name]Theresa[/name] and think it can definitely stand on its own.
[name]Tessa[/name] Jowell is a British politician in her 60s, so yes I think it ages well and can be taken seriously in high powered/respected jobs, if thats what you’re asking. Tessa Jowell - Wikipedia
Also I absolutely love it 
[name]Theresa[/name] is nice too but I much prefer [name]Tessa[/name], it feels so fresh, light and care-free.
I usually don’t favor nicknames as names, but I think [name]Tessa[/name] can stand on it’s own. I’m sort of biased, though, since I like [name]Tessa[/name] and don’t really care for [name]Theresa[/name]/[name]Teresa[/name]
To me, a name that doesn’t age well is usually a more direct diminutive. For example, I think [name]Beth[/name] can certainly be a stand-alone name but I’d dislike [name]Lizzie[/name] by itself. Same with [name]Sandra[/name] and [name]Cassie[/name].
I think [name]Tessa[/name] works just fine on its own, and I can imagine a doctor or lawyer named [name]Tessa[/name] without any problem. If you also like [name]Teresa[/name]/[name]Theresa[/name], I’d personally go with that so she has more options, but I really think just [name]Tessa[/name] is also fine.
