I voted [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. I personally like -a ending for [name_f]Avalon[/name_f]'s first mn. [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]'s sweet, simple, elegant and flows extremely well in the combo.
I’m curious, how would you pronounce [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]? I can only think of one way.
Also, have you considered mn Elaina or Eliana ?
I voted for [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. I think all of your combo work but I just like [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] the best. I also think with a more unusual fn a well known, easy to pronounce middle is nice.
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] is pretty sounding, but when I hear it I automatically think of it’s two associations:
Tullamarine (like the airport) and
Toyota (obvious)
That being said though, outside of Australia, nobody would even get those associations so if you are not in Australia, it’s probably no issue.
Of your choices tough, I like [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. Is [name_u]Lake[/name_u] a non-negotiable name choice? I think [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] sounds lovely as is (minus the [name_u]Lake[/name_u]) but that is just my opinion.
@ iraasuup - Yes, [name_u]Lake[/name_u] is non-negotiable, it is a tribute to my family and it lets me honor us/them as a whole. I know it’s not for everyone but it’s very special to me. Most people won’t even know [name_u]Lake[/name_u] is in there anyway, on forms she would just be [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. 
Its a lovely name combos - the [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] and [name_u]Lake[/name_u]
The patience to decide which ‘middle’ is definitely waranted [name_f]IMO[/name_f]
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] - not my choice
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] - I like [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] but here it overpowers the [name_f]Avalon[/name_f].
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] - Yes I like it very much & No I don’t think any future Violets are problematic.
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] - just does not have soft flow of [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] - harder sound.
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] _As PP’s have said [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is beautififul, the a ending lifts the sound. Either are good. I would choose [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] but [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is lovely too.
I love your style.
I love [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] in the middle.
Thank you all! It looks like [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] are the winners! Now to decide between the two…
