We have narrowed down our list(we think) for baby #4 due in [name_f]April[/name_f]. My husband and I have different styles so its been difficult to find a middle ground so far. [name_u]Josie[/name_u] or [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], of these names I prefer [name_u]Josie[/name_u] (and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] but he won’t go for it), and he prefers [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. Her siblings are [name_f]Laila[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. All of our other children have family middle names and we would like to try to find one that fits. Here are some choices we have so far:
[b][name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (don’t think I like the double “O”)
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] (this is my fav, but is the only one not a family name, although it has meaning)
My favorites are [name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f], [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Joann[/name_f], and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. Too bad he won’t go for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. Would [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] nn [name_u]Josie[/name_u] be a compromise? I like [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosanna[/name_f], or [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. With [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] I like that you would have two Ls and two Ts.
My favourite is [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. Are [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] possibilities for the first name? If you choose [name_u]Josie[/name_u] my favourite is [name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], followed by [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f].
Definitely [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]! [name_u]Josie[/name_u] feels dated, too-nicknaming and I’ve got bad associations with the name :(. I also feel [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] fits a lot better with [name_f]Laila[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. I love [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Joann[/name_f]!!
I think [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] goes better with her siblings names AND the I like that you’d have two L names and two T names.
My favorite of your combos is [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Joann[/name_f], followed by [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Not crazy about Yessa [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].
Both are lovely names. My favorite combo for each is [name_u]Josie[/name_u] Charotte/[name_f]Violet[/name_f], or [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (this seems like a nice ‘best of both worlds’ option).
