I absolutely love the nickname Tess but struggling to find a longer name that I love for it.

We cant use Teresa as its my cousin's name. We like Therese (with accents that I cant do on here!!) but not sure.

Our other DC have 3 or 4 syllable names so we cant just use Tess, it wouldn't fit at all.

any ideas??

Tess is beautiful, and so much nicer than Theresa and Therese. Is is one of the bazillion names you can get from Elizabeth?

I don't see the issue with just using Tess, it's a lovely name.

the problem is one of our other DDs names links to another cousin, Teresa's sister which starts to seem a bit odd - like we're naming after that set of cousins!!

Tess on its own was my choice for DS (if he'd been a girl of course)

Your cousin might be honoured by the name choice (unless you don't like her!)

Tessa?

Esther?

Sorry can't think of any others than Teresa? Would it matter if she was Teresa if she was called Tess by family anyway?
