[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!
This is something a little different from what I usually post, but today, I was considering three rhyming names - [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Bess[/name_f], and [name_u]Jess[/name_u], and how they wildly differ in imagery and impression for me personally despite only being one letter different. [name_f]Tess[/name_f] is my favourite, followed by [name_f]Bess[/name_f], and [name_u]Jess[/name_u] in the last slot (as I don’t like it on a girl).
I want to hear [name_u]Berry[/name_u] input on this and the imagery and thoughts you have on each of these rhyming names.
So, what vibes do you get from [name_f]Tess[/name_f], from [name_f]Bess[/name_f] and from [name_u]Jess[/name_u]? 
Thank you!
[name_f]Tess[/name_f] is sweet and lovely. [name_f]Bess[/name_f] is country and old fashioned. [name_u]Jess[/name_u] is tomboyish and playful. [name_f]Tess[/name_f] and [name_u]Jess[/name_u] are my favorites. I didn’t used to like [name_u]Jess[/name_u] as much, but we now have a family friend who goes by [name_u]Jess[/name_u] and she has given me a newfound appreciation for the name.

[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
Warm, rugged, and friendly - it gives me vibes of tie-dye shirts, summer festivals, campfires, picnics, wish-trees, time spent with friends - but, at the same time, there’s something literary, windswept and powerful about it, I guess all the forlornness of a [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Hardy[/name_m] novel.
[name_f]Bess[/name_f]
Friendly and warm but with a bit of sass, a bit of strength, a bit of regalness. I get imagery of: cosy cottages, crocheted blankets, home-made cupcakes; hair catching in the wind, cheeky smiles, city breaks; old paintings, castles, Horrible Histories 
[name_u]Jess[/name_u]
Cool and friendly, with kick but sparkle too. I get two sets of imagery: football boots, climbing trees, colourful ice-lollies, grass-stained knees; shades of pale pink, purple, orange and blue, cookie-and-cupcake-inspired accessories, a little glitter, converse shoes
I can’t decide if I like [name_u]Jess[/name_u] or [name_f]Tess[/name_f] best…
