Uranus · 13/09/2008 21:54

usually nickname for Teresa or Tracy

SoMuchToBits · 13/09/2008 21:55

I thought Teresa too.

janeite · 13/09/2008 21:58

I'd have assumed it was after "Tess Of the D'Urbervilles".

dinny · 13/09/2008 22:00

think it can be a name in its own right?

I love it but not Theresa/Tessa

But yess, you could probably use on its own.

I have a friend with a Tess, it isn't short for anything she is just Tess and she is a delight.

scaryteacher · 14/09/2008 00:51

borofudge · 14/09/2008 00:55
