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

Your kids have gorgeous names. Do you want another T name or is that too OTT.

kmini · 29/08/2020 19:29

No definitely not another T. We are not Kardashian esque Grin!

Jill, Kim?

Tess is lovely. No nonsense but pretty, and in the sea of vowel-heavy names a refreshing change.

JaJaDingDong · 29/08/2020 19:30

Mabel and David. You can't beat David for a boys' name

I like Clare for a girl and maybe Drew for a boy.

Tara would be gorgeous with those names and I hate to have names begining with the same letter.

Kit for a boy? Fits well with Tess and Tom to me. Christopher on the BC assuming Tom is Thomas.

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'
