2. The best thing about the name Teresa:

   The worst thing about the name:
   It is often spelled with an 'h', even if I tell people exactly how it is written... And when I went to school, there was a quite well known pornstar named Teresa Orlowski - a good reason for some people to make fun of me :-/
   If my name wasn`t Teresa....:
   Well, I wouldn't be me - I think my parents chose a very well-fitting name, there were times when I wanted to have another name, a more common name, but the older I grew, the more proud I was about my not so common name.
