I don’t really like the [name_f]Teresa[/name_f], [name_f]Therese[/name_f] and other ways of this name but I do love the nn [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] however it is way to short next to the other names on my list and I am looking for a longer name that could have [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] as a nn

How about [name_f]Contessa[/name_f] (meaning countess) or
Contessina? The latter has a lovely strong-woman-vibe through its historical connection with Contessina de Bardi, wife of [name_m]Cosimo[/name_m] de Medici. (Aside: I’ve been watching the Medici drama on Netflix, and am loving the names!)

Seconding [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f]!

Might be stretch but [name_f]Natasha[/name_f], [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Esther[/name_f] maybe?

I would suggest [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] as well!

Tesni is a welsh name that means ‘warmth for the sun’

then there’s also [name_f]Tesia[/name_f] a Spanish var. of [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] and [name_f]Martes[/name_f] which means ‘tuesday’

And if your feeling really brave you could go with a word name like Tessera, Tesserae, [name_u]Testimony[/name_u], Testament
