middle name for Theresa

So were strongly considering [name]Theresa[/name] nn [name]Tess[/name] for a future daughter. (I know [name]Theresa[/name] doesn’t get a lot of love here but I adore it.) Anyway I’m stuck on a middle name. Our last name is Tys0n so the name [name]Tess[/name] Tys0n is already really “t” and “s” heavy so I’m thinking a middle name without those sounds would be best. For awhile I liked [name]Theresa[/name] [name]May[/name] but I’m concerned that the “a” ending on [name]Theresa[/name] and the “a” ending on such a short work like [name]May[/name] makes it sound like one smushed together name - Theresamay. Sisters are Cl@re Mich3ll3 and K@th@rine Ros3 and brothers are P@ul St3ph3n and M@rk Jos3ph. Hubby isn’t adventurous at all so they’ll need to be names he’s heard before but not on an old lady :lol:

I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Theresa[/name], and [name]Tess[/name]! A lot of people seem to like [name]Tessa[/name], but [name]Theresa[/name] gets no love- I’m so glad you’re considering using it in its full form! Anyway, middle name suggestions to go with your other kids:
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Corinne[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Lauren[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Madeline[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Lily[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Mary[/name]
But I don’t think [name]Theresa[/name] [name]May[/name] is bad.

Thanks for your reply. I’ve considered [name]Theresa[/name] [name]Jane[/name] I just wish I had some connection to the name [name]Jane[/name] it does sound nice though. [name]Theresa[/name] [name]Lily[/name] is lovely but [name]SIL[/name] has a baby name [name]Lillian[/name] so I don’t know if that would feel too close for DH. I like [name]Theresa[/name] [name]Mary[/name] a lot. [name]Mary[/name] has been in contention as a first name (nn [name]May[/name]) for the next girl.

What do you think of these possibilites:
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - hesitating because initials would be TNT and [name]Nicholas[/name] is on our boys list
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Veronica[/name] -I doubt dh would go for [name]Veronica[/name].

[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Naomi[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Coralie[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Camille[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Isabel[/name]

[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] is lovely but not sure dh likes [name]Eleanor[/name] - maybe I’ll just have to tell him he’s wrong :slight_smile: [name]Theresa[/name] [name]Isabel[/name] while pretty and hitting my stlye of traditional names with the occasional French bent is definately not an option with Tys0n - initials TIT.

I love [name]Theresa[/name] and considered it for my baby girl. It’s saintly, classic, and beautiful, and I’m never sure why people pass it by and go straight to nn [name]Tess[/name]. I like [name]Tess[/name] but not as a stand alone name. I love [name]Theresa[/name] [name]Mary[/name]. The only reason I couldn’t use [name]Theresa[/name] myself is it’s too rhymey with my last name. I met a mom once with kids named [name]Theresa[/name] and [name]James[/name]. So classic yet unexpected. I think the name goes well with your other kids’ names. All timeless choices.

[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Wren[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Mae[/name] (I personally just like [name]Mae[/name] better than [name]May[/name])
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Lanae[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Mari[/name]

[name]Theresa[/name] [name]Marie[/name]

This is a family members name, although her name is spelled [name]Teresa[/name]. She is in her 40’s and is quite happy with her name. Definitely classic with a French twist.

[name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] and I think its a perfect fit!!

[name_f]Theresa[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Theresa[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] is beautiful and unexpected.

If you’re not opposed, I like it with a long middle actually. I know everybody loves 3-1 rhythm but since your surname is short and [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] is classic I feel like it could carry a long, striking middle without it all being too much.
