Tessa

[name]Love[/name] this name, and would like to pair it with a pretty nature mn. So here are the options

[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name] - very southern? [name]Love[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name]

[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] - a bit choppy sounding?

[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Daphne[/name] - I like it :slight_smile:

[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] - too much with big sis [name]Violet[/name]?

[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lavender[/name] - same as above

open to more suggestions! I like felicity as a fn as well but I like the nn [name]Tess[/name] over Liss, hmmm. Thanks!

I adore [name]Tessa[/name], and I think [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] works best of your names, not choppy at all. I don’t like the repeated -a ending of [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name], I find [name]Daphne[/name] an old lady name (the only [name]Daphne[/name] I know is in her 80s, which is why) and I would avoild [name]Lilac[/name] and [name]Lavender[/name] with sister [name]Violet[/name], even as middles. What about [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]? It’s a little ‘s’ heavy but I think it could work, if you’re undecided between both names.

I absolutely love it. It was my top contender for a girl for the longest time. :slight_smile: [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] sounds best to me. It’s adorable.

Thanks! Yeah [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] would be perfect really. [name]Glad[/name] to see that you guys think it flows well. It was my top choice too. [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] is great but I think a bit “s” heavy. If I ever had another little girl I think I would either go with [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] or [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] :slight_smile:

[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name] - [name]Magnolia[/name] strikes me as very Southern; [name]Tessa[/name] not so much. [name]Just[/name] a nice, sweet name. I’m not the hugest [name]Magnolia[/name] fan, and I don’t love the repeated "A"s here. Usually, I don’t mind it. I would like [name]Tess[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name] a lot more.
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] - yeah, a bit on the short and stunted side. [name]Theresa[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] would be a nicer balance, if you’re open to [name]Theresa[/name] nn [name]Tessa[/name]/[name]Tess[/name].
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Daphne[/name] - [name]Daphne[/name] doesn’t strike me really as a nature name, even with the nature meaning. I think [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Laurel[/name] would work more, if you want people to know you’re continuing the whole nature theme from [name]Violet[/name] to [name]Ruby[/name] to [name]Laurel[/name] or whatever. I adore [name]Daphne[/name], but I don’t know about [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Daphne[/name]. I like [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Tess[/name] much more.
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] - idk, I like it. I think it’s probably actually my favorite. What do you mean, too much with [name]Violet[/name]'s name? Too much purple? Too much in sound?
[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lavender[/name] - meh, [name]Lavender[/name] seems a bit over-the-top as an actual name, but [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lavender[/name] is cute.

Have you thought about [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Willow[/name], [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name], [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Mirabelle[/name] (for [name]Mirabelle[/name] plums?), [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Clementine[/name]?

[name]Tessa[/name] is beautiful, and [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] is divine, really divine.

[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Violet[/name]!

[name]Tessa[/name] is one of my favorites. [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] and [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Violet[/name] sound beautiful to me.

Thanks berries! Yeah I think [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] is still my favorite. [name]Love[/name] magnolia but it just doesn’t feel right for me, daphne (you’re right ash) isn’t an obvious nature name, lavender and lilac I think are a bit too “purple” with my dd violet [name]Love[/name] [name]Tessa[/name] violet but can’t do that, hehe. So I agree, [name]Tessa[/name] pearl is cute but also had an elegance to it. And it fits in very nicely with my family.

I sometimes worry that [name]Tessa[/name] is a bit of a nickname and won’t “go” as well in my family but I think it’s my favorite. [name]Felicity[/name] is a close close second, almost tied. But I just can’t get myself to love the nn’s! Haha

ETA: love the suggestion of [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Willow[/name]. [name]Willow[/name] being one of my favorite trees. So I would say [name]Tessa[/name] pearl or [name]Tessa[/name] willow as my favorite combos. Might like pearl a bit more just because of it’s vintage vibe though.
