Lily Nicole or Tessa Marie

My husband and I are expecting our first child together. We know we are having a girl, but can’t decide on a name…
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f]
Or
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
We adore both names. Our last name is [name_m]Anderson[/name_m]. Thanks for the help!

Both are lovely but I’d have to go for [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], more due to the popularity of [name_f]Lily[/name_f] which would bother me.

[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]. I know so many little [name_f]Lily[/name_f]'s. [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is fresh!

Both a beautiful! Great combos! I like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] better as a combo but I really like the name [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. I’m going to go with [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] (even though I know more [name_f]Lily[/name_f]'s than [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]'s) :slight_smile:

I love both, so that’s really hard! I’m going to say [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f], just because [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is a beautiful, underused name. :slight_smile: [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] is also lovely, though.

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] is too ordinary, [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] stands out more. I also like [name_f]Marie[/name_f] a lot more than [name_f]Nicole[/name_f], so my vote is for [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] :slight_smile: She has lovely rhythm!

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f], I like both equally but [name_f]Lily[/name_f] sounds nicer with [name_m]Anderson[/name_m]

Both are really cute. I’m pretty torn between the combos, but based on your last name, I slightly prefer [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] to [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_m]Anderson[/name_m], so I’ll vote [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f]. Can’t go wrong though. :slight_smile:

I prefer [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]! Plus it’s a much more unexpected choice. You could always use [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] but adore [name_f]Lily[/name_f], so [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] gets my vote.

maybe:

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilian[/name_f] [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] gets my vote. I prefer [name_f]Lily[/name_f] to [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] and I also think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] goes better with your surname.

[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] gets my vote. I have never liked [name_f]Lily[/name_f], it seems so bland & prissy to me. [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] has much more spunk & personality!

[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]!

I think [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] has much more versatility and spark than [name_f]Lily[/name_f] (which is coincidentally exceedingly popular).
Both are beautiful though! The upside of [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] is that it rolls off the tounge a little easier than [name_f]TessA[/name_f] [name_m]Anderson[/name_m].

I slightly prefer [name_f]Lily[/name_f] to [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], but [name_f]Marie[/name_f] to [name_f]Nicole[/name_f]… I think both are sweet combos, but I think my vote goes to [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f]. (You can’t go wrong, though:) )

[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] gets my vote. Such a sweet name whereas [name_f]Lily[/name_f]'s lost it’s appeal (for me) due to its popularity.

Thank you all for your input. It’s much appreciated😀”

[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] sounds a bit awkward to me with your surname, so I’d opt for [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] (which is lovely!).

Both are so pretty, I’d actually wanna vote [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f], though, because [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is such a common middle name.

But out of the current choices, I vote [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f].

Both [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] are so sweet and beautiful, but I personally would go for [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Lily[/name_f] personally, and it has a TON of significance for me, but I don’t think I’d use it up front anymore because I’ve just gotten really tired of hearing it. I don’t actually know a ton (I think I know of, or know personally, three, two of which are past the age of high school), but I hear [name_f]Lily[/name_f] talked about a LOT, and I’ve just gotten a little bit tired of it. It just doesn’t seem as fresh as it once did. I still love [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], though, so I could easily end up with a [name_f]Lily[/name_f] without trying to. :slight_smile: So I’m voting [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], although [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is just as great.

Good luck!

[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] would be my pick!
