I love [name_f]Esther[/name_f] “Tess” and there are some really great suggestions here! Some slightly further afield that I’ve found…

[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f]
[name_f]Artemis[/name_f] / [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethesda[/name_f]
[name_f]Thomasina[/name_f] / [name_f]Thomasin[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]

I really like Esther nn Tess, so spunky and fun. I also thought of Thomasin/Thomasina nn Tess. I also think Elizabeth could work, (from Bess + the T in “Beth”) though I definitely prefer Esther.
