Help[Opinions] Tessara
I recently discovered this name, and since I love Tess names, this immediately fell into favor with me. :o)
I know absolutely nothing about it (except that it's feminine), so I have no info to offer you. Based on sound alone (teh-SAH-ruh), WDYT of Tessara? Any combos spring to mind?

Like the tile?
A tessera is a glass tile used in mosaic work. That doesn't make Tessera a bad name, it's actually sort of neat. It just makes it a word to me more than a name. It also reminds me of Tesla, as in the unit of magnetic induction. Or the guy.

Unless you're just big into tiles, it seems simply like a combo of Tess & Sara to me, which is nms (smooshing together two names, I mean).

huh. I was thinking it sounds like Tesla too. I thought I was going crazy from physics....I think it looks like Tessa, with ra added as an after-thought.

Well, it combines two of my favorite name sounds (Tess & Ara), so I feel like I should love it, but I don't. It looks and sounds very made up to me.
Tessara also reminds me of the tesseract from A Wrinkle in Time. I can almost hear Mrs. Whatsit saying "Speaking of ways, pet, by the way, there is such a thing as a Tessara." I think that makes me like it a little bit.

It may very well be.
Made-up, I mean. The owner's surname is very Italian, though, so I'm wondering if it has Italian roots? Or not. :o) Funnily enough, I don't care for Ara, but I find Tessara (in which the Ara sound is very prominent) quite appealing.

It's not made-up, it's a word
It's Latin in origin. A tessera (plural tesserae) is a glass tile used in a mosaic. I have my period interiors class to thank for that random bit of knowledge. :)

Tessera is a word, but Cambria is talking about Tessara.

I thought it was a combo of Tess and Sara. It does look made up. I googled, and it is, in fact, a word. Apparently a math one refering to quadrilaterals. A tessaraglot is someone who speaks four languages, or something. I want to prn it TES-er-ah, though.
