Teresa is a great name! Why not use that and Tessa as the nickname?

All your middle name options are fairly short and would work better with a longer first name. Teresa Jane is my favorite.

Teresa is an old person name.

lol That’s what my MIL says about Evelyn, Hazel and Olivia.

I agree with the first two but not Olivia. Evelyn and Hazel are trendy old lady names.
Tessa is a more modern name that stands alone find. I cant imagine a baby Teresa.

+1 don’t give her a nickname for her actual name

Lilly, Jack, Kate, Leo, Drew...it is very common and fine.

Tessa was a stand alone name in the 1800s

Other options:

Tessa Monique
Tessa Raquel
Tessa Leonor
Tessa Juliet
Tessa Lisbeth
Tessa Lavinia
Tessa Neve

This list highlights what will work best as a middle name for Tessa -- it should be more than one syllable with the emphasis on the last syllable. As you read these, you may note that Monique, Raquel, Juliette flow best with emphasized syllables as book ends.

Others with a similar affect:

Bianca
Aileen
Camille
Christine
Danielle
Nicole
Renee

+1. I'm actually really surprised at all of these people saying it's a nickname. It's objectively not. It's beautiful. Tessa Jane is a great name.

I kind of cannot believe that's her real name... it sounds like a stripper name

There is no “should.” And the stress in Bianca is on the second, not the last syllable.

Tessa Jane is perfect.

I like Tessa Jane, but someone mentioned Tessa Claire and I think that sounds a little prettier.

My husband said kids might tease with things like “Tessa’s lessah” and I said he only would think that because he is from Boston 🙄

Tessa is a lovely name, and I think of it as a stand-alone name rather than a nickname.

I like Tessa Jane or Tessa Claire. Lots of good options though, as long as you stay away from names that start with vowels or end with "a." I'd also avoid anything with a "s" sound.
