Tessa is a beauitful name... it is the character Rachel Weisz played in the Constant Gardener in which she won her Oscar for. Tessa is actually a nickname for Theresa and short for Contessa- which means Countess or Princess in Italian. I know two types of Tessa's. Both are very feminie - one has curly blond hair, blue eyes and very shy and precious. The other is a very exotic, dark hair girl with a deep personality. My husband and I actually love Contessa and may use it with another strong feminie name, like Lucia (which was my Grams name). So in reality our daughter would have a very royality full name that would spell out Countess Lucia. But we would call her Tessa for short.
Think about it! :)

I know a girl who is 15 with the name Tessa. I personally don't like the name. She wasn't called Tess, she was just called Tessa (no nicknames). She has fair skin and blonde/light brown hair. She is quite shy.

I love the name Tessa. It is becoming very popular though. I know quite a few children 3 and under named Tessa. Well one is Tanessa with the nickname Tessa. :)
They are all adorable little girls. One is very bad though. She does not like to listen at all. :)
They seem to all have curly brown hair too! SD

Tessa makes me think of the guy that made the light bulb William Tessel or whateve...I guess Tessy is fine or Tess. Tess sounds the best I don't really like Tessa.

I went to elementary school with a girl named Tessa. She was unpleasant. But very cute. I think of her. She was tall and had poufy bangs, dark hair, and freckles.
The name seems like it ought to be short for something.

Personally I don't like it. It's kind of weak and wishy-washy. It's like the name you would give to a faithful dog. A girl with this name would get called Tess - even worse. This name is not unusual in Britain -1000's of people have it, some who are very old - but I wouldn't say it is popular at all: it does not conjure up an attractive girl. More someone who is average and boring, and slightly drippy

Ok..honestly, every Tessa I have known has been snotty, spoiled, or a whore. So , for me th association it not pleasent.
I do remember the first time I heard..I did think it was pretty, until the TESSA's ruined it.

I think its pretty. I once new a girl named Teesa, its a little different than Tessa but they are both pretty. I picture a pretty girl that is liked by everyone.
