My husband and I have chosen May as a middle name to honor ourselves (Mason and Florence May), I love the name Teresa for a first but worry that it's too dated to use on a little girl, however it does have a lot of family meaning. We plan on using the nickname Terra or Tessa or Resa (pretty undecided on that as well). 

 

The options:

 

Teresa May Elliot

 

Amity May Elliot

 

Flora May Elliot

 

Open to suggestions as well!

Teresa is dated but I think it still usable with the nickname Tessa. From your choices, I love Amity!

Teresa May sounds beautiful but I must say out of your three choices I love Flora May the most! It has a lovely feminine flow perfect for a unique little girl :)

I like Teresa. I know a ton of people with that name and I'm only in my 20's. I do not think it's too dated

I love the name Teresa May Elliot. It sounds like a beautiful vintage name and Tessa would be a very cute nickname for a little girl :-)

Teresa May is precious. i don't think it sounds terribly dated. Although most Teresas are older, the name itself has a pretty fresh sound.
