Which name? Tessa, Electra or Soraya?

[williaminajetfighter]

Hi. We are down to three names: Tessa, Electra, or Soraya pronounced with 'ray' not 'rye'. I also love Medea but too much like DD's name.

Last name is Spanish and ends with 'a' so names with 'a' ending seem to work.

All opinions welcomed!!

Wow I love Electra!

[williaminajetfighter]

Thx pink. Love names fro m Greek mythology....

[ghosteditor]

I'm a big fan of Tessa; not so much Electra, and I've never encountered Soraya before and am not keep.

Maribel's my favourite Spanish name fwiw

[BackforGood]

Of those, I only like Tessa.

[noblegiraffe]

Tessa, because it is the most normal.

Electra didn't have a great family life from what I remember of the myth. Also, reminiscent of that crap Daredevil film so people will spell it wrong with a k.

[ifancyashandy]

Soraya, then Tessa.

Electra is a bit too 'stripper' for me.

[williaminajetfighter]

Shit, Daredevil, I forgot. Ditto Carmen Electra. Sigh!!

[TwasBrillig]

Only Tessa from that list.

[combinearvester]

Erm isn't Electra the equivalent of calling your son Oedipus? Or have I remembered that wrong...
Medea killed her kids right?

What the hell did Soraya do then

[Sanjifair]

I like Tessa best. I like Soraya too, but will she continually have to correct people's pronounciation? I would say Sor - eye- ah if you hadn't mentioned it.

[williaminajetfighter]

I know... Electra complex etc. sadly very few in Greek mythology come out unscathed!!

[noblegiraffe]

Penelope does ok in the long run, struggling to think of any others!

[fussychica]

Tessa for me.
How about Samira, Alanna, Alicia, Elvira or Cara

[FingersCrossedLegsNot]

Love love love Tessa

[zingally]

I only like Tessa of those. The rest are too... "out there". Electra is chavvy stripper and Soraya is... not nice sounding.

[Imscarlet]

I like Tessa the best out of those, but I don't think it is a strong name.

[YoungBritishPissArtist]

Is Soraya a Spanish name? I've only known Sorayas who are Persian/Arabic in ancestry and they all pronounced it Sor - eye - a.

If you pronounced it 'ray', you may have to correct people a lot.

[FetaCheeny]

Only Tessa, Soraya sounds like surveyer to me, and Electra is stripperish. I would prefer Soraya pronounced Sor-eye-ah.

[Rhubarbgarden]

Tessa.

[Hashtagwhatever]

Soraya ive never heard but very pretty.

Dont know why electra sounds a bit stripperish.

[changechangechange]

Soraya.

[williaminajetfighter]

Thx everyone. I think it's going to be back to the drawing board for me.

Soraya I prefer as 'ray-a' but you're right -- it's generally pronounced SoRYEah which is, sadly, too much like psoriasis. Electra now sounds less like cool artist and more like stripper superhero and Tessa I still like but may be a bit wet.

Frig. It'll probably end up being Isabella or Evie or ADD MOST POPULAR GIRL NAME OF THE YEAR HERE....

[Elquota]

Tessa, as nickname for Teresa.

[Hashtagwhatever]

Rhea
Eris

Sticking with mythology
