[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all,
We are down to our final 2 names (Finally!) [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] or [name_f]Stella[/name_f]?
I prefer [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is nice too, though.
I prefer [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] if surname is Lauder. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] Lauder is a lot of l’s.
I definitely prefer [name_f]Stella[/name_f]
Tough choice, both are great names! [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is a little less popular and I think would maybe be more versatile personality-wise. But there’s just something about [name_f]Stella[/name_f] that I really like!
I also agree that [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] Lauder sounds much better than [name_f]Stella[/name_f] Lauder.
[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
They’re both great names. I personally love [name_f]Stella[/name_f] a bit more. It’s the perfect combination of femininity & spunky-ness. It’s also classic, smart. & super straight forward. And it has a romantic flair about it too.
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is a little bit less common. If that’s a concern to you, that’s something to consider. And the nn [name_f]Tess[/name_f] is stinking adorable. It’s sporty & lovable. I don’t like [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] as much as [name_f]Tess[/name_f] for some reason, but it’s still really nice.
Maybe if you’re down to two, you can just let the baby pick.

I definitely prefer [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. It gives off a very competent and strong vibe without being overly serious.
I had a childhood friend named [name_f]Tess[/name_f]. When she met people and introduced herself, they would ask if she said Test, [name_f]Bess[/name_f], or [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]… I’m not sure why, tbh 
[name_m]Little[/name_m] kids would call her [name_f]Tessy[/name_f], which I thought was super cute!
I prefer [name_f]Stella[/name_f] because I like names that make you think “magic” and cosmic names give me that vibe. But I also like [name_f]Tess[/name_f] or [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. I think either name you pick will be a great choice!
I prefer [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] anyway, but I agree with those who have said it sounds better with what I assume is the surname, too.
Tessa.
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]! [name_f]Stella[/name_f] has always sounded kind of harsh to me.
I prefer [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]!
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is my favourite
I love both, but I’m going to vote for the lovely [name_f]Tessa[/name_f].
You can’t go wrong but i personally prefer the starry [name_f]Stella[/name_f]
Hi all,
Sorry I should have clarified. [name_f]My[/name_f] maiden name is Lauder. The last name for her will be my husbands surname Umansky (you-man-ski).
Ah this is so hard, i love them both! [name_f]Stella[/name_f] is just slightly winning for me though. I love the starry imagery.

I prefer [name_f]Stella[/name_f], though [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] is a great name as well.
I like [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] better in general, but I think [name_f]Stella[/name_f] sounds really great with the surname she’s going to have.
