Tess all the way

Nesssie · 06/03/2019 12:19

Wait, can I use that if it rhymes with my name?? (Jess and Tess)

Nesssie · 06/03/2019 12:18

Tess definitely! Love it! (Adding it to my list)

Tess is my favourite of those three by miles!

(Needs to be a short, simple name bc of the surname)

Which is best: Tess, Nell or Fern?

Wishy washy

Love it - not remotely catty for me Smile

Great name - I know two (both school age) and think it's a fab name.

MercyBodle · 06/03/2019 11:07

I think it's great.

Icklepup · 06/03/2019 10:44

I love it

123Flopsy · 05/03/2019 23:08

It sounds like a nickname for Tessa or Teresa.

I would think of Tess of the d'Urbevilles who came to a sticky end - but maybe that's a bit niche.

Niveous · 05/03/2019 22:04

Love the simplicity of it.

MyNameIsABCDE · 05/03/2019 21:46

It's lovely. Underused but still well known. I know a lovely teenager called Tess. (just Tess) and it's great

HalfBloodPrincess · 05/03/2019 21:45

As long as your surname isn’t tickle, then it’s a perfectly nice name

WoahThereMama · 05/03/2019 21:43

I like it. I know a young Tess and it feels like her proper name rather than a nickname. (She’s just Tess too on her BC)

Disfordarkchocolate · 05/03/2019 21:42

Cat never entered my mind. I like it.

Faster · 05/03/2019 21:42

Sounds like a cats name
