My mom is Terri. Not short for anything (teachers often called her Theresa), and she says her name was misspelled all the time growing up (usually as Terry, but occasionally as Teri), so she has never really liked it. Though, apparently, Sheila was also considered, and of the two she's glad her parents chose Terri. :-P
Edit: if we're doing middle names, she's Terri Lynne.
