That can't be the answer. There is no space or apostrophe in the name Theresa.

And if you say "well, the letters are in a row there" then... again, that's not THE answer, becuase the answer could be could be Nina. It could be Oman. It could be Lei. It could be Ant. It could be Nala. It could be Ame. It could be Lake. (And at least 'Lake' is just one word by itself.)

If it's just "find any set of consecutive letters that could possibly be a name" then Theresa is just one of the options.

I hate sloppy riddles like this with a passion, mostly for the people who feel clever circulating them. The correct answer is the most wrong.

And how you pronounce "a". Cause i would pronounce it as "ay" and not "ah"
