Help . . . Again 😬

Sooo… I’m going to ask you to bear with me and help a very tired newborn mama out—again. Our baby girl still isn’t officially named, but after lots of back and forth (and plenty of input from her brothers and older sister), we think we’ve finally settled on Thessaly for her first name.

Now we’re looking for two middle names. Her older sister is Evadne Seraphine Dove. I’ve been really liking Thessaly Isannah Grey, partly because it gives us the option of calling her Tig or Tiggy, which I find adorable. We’re big nickname people, but not the ā€œname them the nicknameā€ type—we like nicknames that make sense but still feel like a sweet, informal, family-used option.

We’re not set on anything yet and would love suggestions—especially combos that naturally lend themselves to a cute nickname.

  • Thessaly Isannah Grey
  • Thessaly Guinevere ?
  • Thessaly Castalia Lark
  • Thessaly Celestine ?
  • Thessaly Solene Lark
  • Thessaly Athenais ?

[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] [name_m]Grey[/name_m] nn ā€œTigā€ is chef’s kiss! :ok_hand:[name_f][/name_f] and with big sister’s name, it truly couldn’t be better. I’m full-on swooning!

I am so giddly/thrilled to see [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] considered! It’s so underused :face_holding_back_tears:

[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] is an awesome choice!

I totally get the appeal of building in the nickname [name_f]Tiggy[/name_f]. It is super cute. [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Tessie[/name_f], [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] and [name_f]Essie[/name_f] are some other options. [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] is gorgeous, it’s just [name_m]Grey[/name_m] I would reconsider since [name_f]Dove[/name_f] feels so much more uplifting than [name_m]Grey[/name_m].

Perhaps…

[name_f][/name_f]

That said, [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] could also work as way to [name_f]Tiggy[/name_f] since the key initials are already there and ā€˜y’ sound is between the T and G. This sort of nickname is already quite inventive, I think you can be fairly flexible.

[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] [name_m]Grey[/name_m] :yellow_heart:

I agree with @kachenka[name_f][/name_f] and am basically reiterating; would go [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] [name_f]Gem[/name_f], [name_m]Glow[/name_m], [name_m]Gwyn[/name_m] or [name_m]Gale[/name_m] or maybe [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] but I’d be wondering if [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] should go first: [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] xxx (last name).

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Or[/name_m] as said, go [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Fig[/name_f], [name_f]Plum[/name_f], [name_f]Niamh[/name_f], [name_f]Snow[/name_f] (maybe too thematic?), [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Nyx[/name_f], [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] or [name_f]Fawn[/name_f]. Something sprightly and symbolic.

[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] is wonderful! :sparkles::sparkles::sparkles:

If [name_f]Tibby[/name_f] appeals as a nickname, then one thought could be [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] [name_f]Bee[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Athenais[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] could bring you to Tal/Tali.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Greer[/name_f] is a little different stylistically, but another way to get to Tig/Tiggy (Thessaly [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] Greer).

I adore [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] [name_m]Grey[/name_m] ā€˜Tiggy’ [name_f][/name_f]- how lovely. [name_f]Perfect[/name_f] with big sis, amazing nickname. I’m going to slightly disagree with others and say that to me, [name_m]Grey[/name_m] isn’t too much of a contrast with uplifting [name_f]Dove[/name_f]. I find [name_m]Grey[/name_m] chic and romantic. Honestly your other middle choices here are stunning but I think you’ve got it nailed!

I think Thessaly Isannah Grey is a beautiful and well-thought out combo, and Tig is just so cute! Big Tig Notaro fan here.

Your daughter will be so incredibly lucky to have such a cool name :)) I know I would LOVE to be named Thessaly Isannah Grey both as a kid and now.

[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] [name_m]Grey[/name_m] is wonderful! But I like [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] too [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f]? [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_m]Sol[/name_m]?

[name_f][/name_f]

A few suggestions:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_m]Grey[/name_m] / [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] [name_m]Gale[/name_m] (Tiggy, Tizzy)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Piper[/name_f] / [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Ingrida[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] (Tippy, Tiggy)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Elettra[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] (Theo)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] [name_f]Kestrel[/name_f] (Teddy)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] (Theo, [name_m]Teddy[/name_m], Dotty)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Anais[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f] (Tassie, [name_m]Tam[/name_m], [name_f]Tammi[/name_f], Sassy)

I don’t want to be that ā€œcan’t go wrongā€ person, but can also see [name_m]Grey[/name_m] as very chic, it’s very balanced and the colours of [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] & [name_m]Grey[/name_m] are all cool tomes (to me, blues, silver, mauves and obv grey). It’s very clean and tailored, and [name_m]Grey[/name_m] has more use and history in US for eg.

I’m so glad you found your first name for baby girl! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] is lovely, and is so fun with big sister [name_f]Evadne[/name_f]!

[name_f][/name_f]

I ended up voting for [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] Grey; I don’t love [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] myself, but [name_f]Tiggy[/name_f] is adorable! [name_f][/name_f] I also like the idea of something like [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] ā€œTillyā€? [name_f][/name_f] I do really like [name_f]Celestine[/name_f] and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] with [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] though!

[name_f][/name_f]

Good luck!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Isannah[/name_f] [name_m]Grey[/name_m] nn [name_f]Tig[/name_f] or [name_f]Tiggy[/name_f] as a sister to [name_f]Evadne[/name_f] is absolute perfection, chef’s kiss. I love it!! [name_f]My[/name_f] second pick if you are not sure is [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] Castalia [name_f]Lark[/name_f], but it doesn’t flow as well, a bit too L heavy.
