Tess as nn for Elisabeth

[kmini]

OK, give it to me straight. Would you think it's a bit of stretch?

Tess is pretty much a certain. Don't love Tessa nearly as much, always loved Elisabeth (and both our grandmothers were Elizabeth's), but silly enough to care what others opinions might be.

Thank you

Tess is pretty and I love Teresa too (nowt to do with a certain politician). Not a nn for Elizabeth though (I much prefer the Z spelling incidentally).

Theresa Elisabeth, with the 'ay' not 'ee' pronunciation sounds elegant.

Thank you for all your replies. Lots of food for thought!

FYI - we have a Theresa (known as Tess/Tessie) who was born in April and not one person said "like the PM?" To us. So I wouldn't worry too much about that.
