Something like Tess

Dd is Tess. Ds is Tom.

Any suggestions for no.3, if we are lucky enough.

Girls: similar to Tess. I love that her name is strong, feminine, widely known, but definitely not popular.

Boys: classic, simple but maybe slightly less common would be nice.

Any suggestions appreciated

I love Nell, if I had another DD that's what I'd call her!
Me too!

I love Hattie ( Harriet)

Liv for a girl? I love it, although may be confused with Olivia. To me it has the same classic but simple vibe that Tess does (which I love, btw).

Just my opinion but I think of you have two T's you should maybe carry on the theme.

DAunt has 3 daughters, my elder two cousins have very similar names, not the same letter but much the same sound & theme. Naming the younger one she went completely different and my youngest cousin does sort of resent it, she still says at 30 years old 'why not just follow the pattern'
