My ex often calls me from his next door neighbor's house because he doesn't have a phone of his own. The first name that comes up on the caller ID is Thessalonia. As far as I know, no one who lives there goes by that name, so I'm not sure what's up with that. I keep forgetting to ask him about it.
I can't find this name in this site's database, so I'm not sure if it's a real name or if someone made it up. It kind of sounds Greek to me. I actually like it, because it fits in with my preference for long (four or more syllable) girls' names that end in IA. Same reason I like Caledonia.
Have you ever heard this name before? And do you like it?
