I love the name [name]Tessa[/name]… But unfortunately it won’t ever be an option for me. I love nn [name]Tess[/name] and I even like the full [name]Teresa[/name], but I have to let it go. Are there any names you think are similar in style/feel to [name]Tessa[/name]? A cute nn would be a bonus.
[name]Bess[/name]
[name]Nell[/name]
[name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Tally[/name]
[name]Sadie[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Zoe[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Esther[/name]
I feel like these may be similar in style to [name]Tessa[/name]/[name]Theresa[/name]
- [name]Sadie[/name]
- [name]Olive[/name]
- [name]Jessa[/name]
- [name]Taylor[/name]
- [name]Toni[/name]
- [name]Trisha[/name]
- [name]Georgia[/name]
- [name]Hadley[/name]
- [name]Nora[/name]
- [name]Marnie[/name]
I have always like [name]Talitha[/name] nn [name]Tali[/name]. Besides the pp’s suggestions (I esp. like [name]Gemma[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name] as alternatives), what about [name]Willa[/name], [name]Isla[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Calla[/name], [name]Thea[/name], [name]Clea[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Matilda[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], or [name]June[/name]?
I love [name]Tessa[/name] too. I agree with the above suggestions of [name]Willa[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Nora[/name], [name]Noelle[/name] and [name]Tabitha[/name]. I like all those and they have that kind of mix of classic and slightly bohemian (well, some of them do). Others may be: [name]Frances[/name] (great nns here!), [name]Lyda[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name] (also great nns!), [name]Anna[/name], [name]Alice[/name] or [name]Allison[/name], [name]Karen[/name]. I know [name]Karen[/name] is really random, but it’s really growing on me since i discovered its a Danish variation of [name]Katherine[/name]. I actually think [name]Rosemary[/name] might be the closest in style to [name]Tessa[/name] for me. In my mind they are both underused classics with a flair of vintage charm.
This may not be an option depending on why you can’t use the name [name]Tessa[/name], but what about [name]Nessa[/name]?
What about [name]Willa[/name]?
I had [name]Tessa[/name] on a list of character names alongside [name]Freya[/name], [name]Eliza[/name] and [name]Ada[/name].
jessa?..
[name]Sadie[/name]
[name]Maisie[/name]/[name]Macy[/name]
[name]Lilian[/name]/[name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Sage[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name]
[name]Emma[/name]
[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Poppy[/name]
[name]Posey[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Elise[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]/[name]Jemma[/name]
I agree with the above mentioned [name]Calla[/name], [name]Tallie[/name], [name]Gemma[/name],[name]Taylor[/name], [name]Georgia[/name], [name]Willa[/name], [name]Isla[/name], [name]Thea[/name], [name]Maisie[/name] and [name]Poppy[/name].
Also, how about, a fuller name with a cute nn:
[name]Theodora[/name] NN [name]Thea[/name]
[name]Talia[/name] NN [name]Tallie[/name]
Maltilda NN [name]Mattie[/name], [name]Tillie[/name]
[name]Calista[/name] NN [name]Callie[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name] NN [name]Stella[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] NN [name]Libby[/name]
[name]Phillipa[/name] NN [name]Pippa[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name] NN [name]Mae[/name], [name]Evie[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] NN [name]Ellie[/name]
It’s a little nickname-y, but I think [name]Thandie[/name] has a similar feel.
i think simple, old-fashioned, pretty - sadie, sophie, libby (elizabeth), ruby, hazel, lucy
