A MN for Tess?

Girl Names

And I’m moving on to [name]Tess[/name]. :slight_smile: As some of you may remember, I’m stuck between [name]Eva[/name], [name]Catherine[/name], and [name]Tess[/name] for number 10 on my girls’ list. I’ve come up with [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] combos I really love ([name]Eva[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Eliora[/name]–second middles to be attached later), and now I’m moving on to [name]Tess[/name]. Ideally, I would have liked to go for [name]Theresa[/name] nn [name]Tess[/name], but I just can’t get behind [name]Theresa[/name]. Maybe it’ll grow on me with time. So it’s just [name]Tess[/name]. Any ideas? So far I’ve tossed around [name]Tess[/name] [name]Annora[/name], [name]Tess[/name] [name]Eliora[/name], and [name]Tess[/name] [name]Felicity[/name], but none of them really seem to be sticking…

Thanks, ladies!

[name]Tess[/name] [name]Eliana[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Johanna[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Aurora[/name] - though you probably don’t want to reuse it
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name]!
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name]

I think it sounds best with a vowel name but that’s just me.

I just wanna say that if someday you decide to choose [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Eliora[/name] [name]Tess[/name] is very pretty.

And meanwhile…

[name]Tess[/name] [name]Arabella[/name]

What about [name]Tessa[/name]? I think [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] is lovely!

I agree that the vowel names work nice, and “fem” up the cool [name]Tess[/name]. But when [name]Tess[/name] was on my list with our first (husband vetoed it), I loved the combo [name]Tess[/name] [name]Rhiannon[/name]. [name]Just[/name] a thought :slight_smile:

Thanks, ladies!

Now I’m tossing around [name]Tess[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Tess[/name] [name]Johanna[/name], [name]Tess[/name] [name]Georgiana[/name], and [name]Tess[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]. :slight_smile: I love the literary ties to [name]Georgiana[/name] (which wasn’t suggested, but [name]Georgina[/name] was!), and my family ties to [name]Johanna[/name]. And @kala_way, [name]Tess[/name] [name]Corinna[/name] could be a consideration! It’s making me remember how much I love [name]Corinna[/name]/[name]Corinne[/name].

@juniperk - I had considered [name]Tessa[/name], but it just seems sort of watered down, it doesn’t have quite the spunk of just [name]Tess[/name] to me.

ETA: I’ve really been loving [name]Audrey[/name] lately, too–thoughts on [name]Tess[/name] [name]Audrey[/name]? I’m not sure how I feel about it yet…
