Tessalina sounds like some kind of math superhero - "tessellate" and all that.

Depends on how you'd want it pronounced. I prefer Kira for Ciara/Keira and Kyra for "kai-rah."

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

Yeah I am pronouncing it like "keyr-rah" like the actress Kyra Sedgewick on the closer
but i had a barbie doll when i was younger and her name was Kira-- like it was one of barbies friends

[ilovehounds.livejournal.com]

for your pronunciation i would stick with kira. it makes me think of the girl gelfling character in the movie The Dark Crystal, which i love!

tessalina makes me think of thumbalina. :(

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

yes!!! thats when i first fell in love with that name :)

[evelnnsmom.livejournal.com]

i have to go with kira pronounced keer-ah

[myfriendjenny.livejournal.com]

I think I'd go with Kira.

Kira.

And Tessalena is actually a name that has occurred to me before, only if I decided to open up a restaurant which is a dream of mine. Tess is my paternal grandmother's name (also my middle name) and Lena is my maternal grandmother's name.

Kira for the pronunciation "keera"
Kyra for the pronunciation "k-eye-ra" (as in, the word "eye" is the vowel sound)

oh and tessalina reminds me of tessellations

I dont raelly like the sound of Tessalina.

I dont know, I could go either way on that one.

I like Tessa. Tessalina sounds like ... a mouse in a children's book or something. De trop -- it's too much!

[neroli.livejournal.com]

Tessalina sounds like Thumbelina's younger sister ;)

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

kyra.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

it depends on how you want to pronounce it

Kyra = KIE-ra
Kira = KEE-ra

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

kyra

Tessalina sounds made up and silly.

I spell it Kira.

[opalfirefly.livejournal.com]

well it was a dream-- things are made up and silly in dreams :)

[thejoysofjess.livejournal.com]

It reminds me of tesselations that we used to play with in elementary school.

I pronounce Kira and Kyra differently.

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

Too cutesy. Tessa is nice. The -lina doesn't add a thing but fluff.

I say Kira KEER-uh and Kyra KYE-ra.

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

I'm glad Tessalina was just a dream. ;p

and Kira.

[smileygoldfish.livejournal.com]

I love Kira, but my neighbor suggested spelling it Keara ...hmm\

I agree that Kyra would be pronouced with a "eye" sound rather than "ee" sound
