I prefer [name_f]Roselle[/name_f] to [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], although I prefer just [name_f]Tess[/name_f] to [name_f]Roselle[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Roselle[/name_f] is a really nice combo of unusual but familiar. I also like [name_f]Rosine[/name_f].
[name_f]Roselle[/name_f] [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is a little less playful than [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], but nonetheless romantic-sounding.
I feel as if [name_f]Roselle[/name_f] [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] would have a better feel/impact without [name_f]Marie[/name_f] tacked on the end.
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] has a perfect flow and rhythm, it feels very spunky, very playful.
I love [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] and would use it in a heartbeat. However, your [name_f]Roselle[/name_f] combo is definitely the more romantic combo. I agree with @roseofjune that I view the [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] combo as more spunky and playful.
Thanks, I’m a writer and it’s for a character… iI’ve posted a few other posts trying to figure out a good name for her…
She has blue eyes and long brown hair, looks like the singer Birdy.
very stuck. She’s a young girl (preteen to adult), living in Sussex, [name_f]England[/name_f], in the 1940’s. It’s a story about young love and the effect that it carries on into adulthood and whether ones ‘first love’ has more importance and subconscious meaning than most would suspect. She falls in live with a boy beneath her and struggles with her aristocratic existence, rebellion against her parents, growing apart from her child-love, and the kind of ladylike role she must conform to.
So, the name has to be sophisticated and a name that parents of this description would choose for her, but also ladylike and tomboy-ish is (to remain true and symbolic to her nature which is bother of these. A ladylike tomboy and rebel.) Sorry for the difficulty with this question, as it is contrary…
