OK, give it to me straight. Would you think it's a bit of stretch?

Tess is pretty much a certain. Don't love Tessa nearly as much, always loved Elisabeth (and both our grandmothers were Elizabeth's), but silly enough to care what others opinions might be.

Thank you

I suppose you can just about see how you get it, but it is a little bit of a stretch.

I take it Theresa and Esther are no good?

Yep, also consider Tess alone

Tess is great on it's own. You could use it for Esther at a stretch, I think.

Tess Elizabeth and Esther Elisabeth both work.

I have never of tess as a diminutive for Elizabeth or Elisabeth? It's pretty though. I'd just name her tess elisabeth tbh.

Tess is gorgeous on its own.

Tess Elisabeth?
