Etta, Tess or Phoebe

[schafernaker]

We have picked out a boys name but just can’t pin down a girls name. These 3 are top of the list but we can’t decide between them. Also really open to other suggestions. We have a Niamh already 😊

Etta is lovely. Reminds me of Etta James

Oh I love Etta

Def tess

I also love Etta - reminder of Etta James, beautiful and not over used. Phoebe perhaps goes better with Niamh though (another lovely name)

Phoebe

Opinions seem to be asked on here for Etta every few days

Tess is lovely would you use Tessa or Teresa on birth certificate?

Tess is perfect.

I don't like Etta at all.

Phoebe

Depends on your surname
Etta Lamb
Tess Tickle...

I like Tess best, with Phoebe a close second.

@Whatsyourflava boys name is Thomas ☺️ It was the name we had picked out if DD was a boy too. I guess our lives would be much easier if we had found out the gender 😂

I love Etta, I think I would be tempted to use this name if I ever had another girl

Phoebe is lovely. The other two are nice but both sound as if they're short for something else.

Also Tess of the Durbervilles not necessarily the best role model.

Tess is my favourite and also love Phoebe. I find the sounds of Etta unappealing. All 3 work fine with Niamh though.

I like Tess (and Tessa) and Phoebe best. Etta is nice, but feels like it needs a longer name like Henrietta or Julietta behind it.

I think Phoebe goes best with Niamh.

I love Etta as we had her song 'At Last' as our first dance when we got married.
I also like Phoebe and I have that as one of my names if baby turns out to be a girl!

Phoebe was on my 'list' for both of mine, its lovely. I though Etta was short for something for ages

Love Etta! It’s on our list 😊

❤️Tess.

I have a Niamh, her older sister is Isabel but out of your choices, I think phoebe

Tess

I have a Thomas who was going to be Niamh if a girl. All 3 of your names are lovely but Etta is the one I'd go for.

Tess - a gorgeous name.

I like Etta and Phoebe

I dog sit a little jack russell called Tess so that clouds my judgement on that one unfortunately
