Isabella Teresa (ter-RAY-suh)

WDYT? I don't know if I'd ever use it, but I really like it...

Also, when giving opinion...*try* and focus more on the sound/flow of it, rather than on the popularity of the name, or if you like the name. I'm more interested in knowing what you think of how it sounds.

It flows ok.

I would never be able to pronounce Teresa that way on a regular basis because it will always be Te-REE-sah to me. I also prefer the forms of names without the -a like Isabelle Therese or Isabelle Teresa, Isabella Therese.

To me, Isabelle feels incomplete, the same with Therese. Both are perfectly acceptable names, but just not my style.

I would never pronounce Theresa like that. It's either Te-REE-sah or Te-REZ-ah to me.

I agree that Isabella Therese is a better combination.

Te-REZ-ah

That might actually be pretty close to how I'm pronouncing it, I just had a hard time trying to spell it out phoenetically.

I pronounce Teresa as Teh-REH-zah, I don't mind the flow, but I love Isabella so much more than Teresa that it doesn't sounds like a good match to me.

Plus, Isabella has been my first "future daughter" possible name with my current partner, and Teresa is one of his exes, so I apologize, but I might be extremely biased by this contrast :P

I don't like that they both end in a.

I wouldn't pronouncee Teresa like that either.

I don't like the flow how you're saying it or how I would say it (Ter-ee-suh).

I love the pronunciation of Teresa. I loved it since hearing it on Golden Girls. I might also have a relative with the pronunciation, but I'm not sure.

I prefer Isabel(le) to Isabella, but Isabella Teresa is nice, and it flows well, in my opinion.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

The flow is ok, but overall I think it's a little long and slightly repetitive both ending in "a" and emphasised on the second last syllable. I agree with whoever said that Isabella Therese flows better

I think it's beautiful and that's my preferred pronunciation of Teresa.
Very hispanic or Italian sounding. Some people get weird if you use a name that sounds 'ethnic' and you're not from that ethnicity (I don't, but I've noticed people here get pissy..). If that bothers you, I woudln't let you, people rarely say her full name. Isabella is very popular right now, so I'm sure it'd be well-received, if common. I
