Natasha - love love this name i wish i could have another gitl just to give
Natalia - This would be my second choice
Esme - Its ok
Jessica - Nice but too popular
Talitha (Tali) - dont like sorry

[ABitAsleep]

Nina - Not keen, prefer Mina.
Tessa (Tess) - Okay, but nothing special, sounds quite harsh.
Natasha - Love!
Natalia - Really like, but prefer Natalie.
Esme - Really like.
Jessica - Don't like (My name, i always considered it boring, but i know it's making a comeback)
Talitha (Tali) - Not keen, prefer Talia.

[LuciaInFurs]

I love Esme.

[Bellasima20]

Love Jessica and Nina most. Natalia also very lovely.

I knew a Tessa at school and every time her name was said, it grated, just found it very irritating. Not overly feminine or flowing.

[Laquila]

What lovely names. I have a good friend called Tess so am biased towards that, and also know an adorable baby Nina. Jessica is nice but a bit blander than the others. Talitha is gorgeous and Talitha Getty was pretty cool. Natalia and Natasha are both nice, but I prefer Talitha. Esme is nice but I think it'll date.

[girlwithagruffalotattoo]

Nina is lovely

[Scarydinosaurs]

I love Nina

[joyfulworld]

I love Nina best. Lovely name.

[MissTurnstiles]

Before reading your explanation upthread I think I would have pronounced Talitha ta-LEE-tha.

[Olbersparadox]

I'm not sure how I feel about Tessa - feels like it Should be Teresa then shorten to Tessa? Otherwise I like it.

I prefer Thalia - instead of Natalia

[pilates]

Jessica Esme is lovely.

Jessie and Jess are also gorgeous.

[Summ3r]

Love esme then Jessica then Nina

[applecatchers36]

Tessa or Esme are my favourites from your list

[NataliaOsipova]

Natasha is the diminutive form of Natalia, if that helps..... (think "War and Peace"). Tess smacks of Thomas Hardy, but is nice if you don't mind the connotation (Tess of the D'Urbervilles - hanged for murdering her rapist ex lover). Not sure this helps though....!

[BikeRunSki]

Nina and Tess/a were on our list for DD! Esme would have been too, apart from negative (personal) associations.

DD is not any of those names though.

[Biscuitsneeded]

Nina or Tess. Lovely, simple, timeless names. Jessica and Natasha a bit 80s for me, Esme is too popular and very 'now', and I don't like the sound of Natalia or Talitha.

[elevenweekstogo]

I vote for Nina. They are all lovely though.

[tinymeteor]

I love Nina, Esme and Tali

[Homerun23]

It is pronounced TAL-i-tha (same as Tabitha but with an L)

[thebiscuitindustry]

Nina - quite like
Tessa (Tess) - OK
Natasha - great
Natalia - great (you could have Nat or Talia as nickname)
Esme - the Ezz sound is harsh
Jessica - like
Talitha (Tali) - is it TAL-i-tha or Tal-ITH-a?

[Dolly80]

I love Tess, am due in 5 weeks and would love to have it but partners not keen. We still haven't got a clue what to choose.

[Homerun23]

PenelopeChipShop - sorry!

[Homerun23]

PenelopePitShop - what other names do you have on your list? I'm curious if we have a very similar taste!!

[DontKillMyVibe]

Tessa or Esme would be my choices out of those options.

[cecilelliott]

Another for Tessa. Great name!
