DD4

[ineedbanoffee]

DDs 1-3 are called
Is.obel. Ed.ith.
Al.ice. El.eanor.
Or.la. Rose.

(Hoping the full stops make this less easy to Google!)

DD4 due in a week. DH dead set on Te.ss. A.va.

I like it, and I think it goes really well with the other names. However, DDs don’t know the name but when it has come up they don’t like it. My own favourite was Phoe.be. J.oy. But DH hates that with a passion, so it’s out. Anyway, I’m 95% certain it’s the name we’ll go with and I do really like it, but wanted a last-minute roll of the dice on here in case anybody comes up with anything we haven’t thought of that we might love!

Hit me with any ideas you have, based on our other names!

Hadn’t thought about ‘to save her’ 🙈😂

If you don't like Tess or Theresa why go for Tess? She will likely get called Tessa a lot.

Beatrice, & Imogen are nicer (from your list) and go better with Ava.

Even Ava, while massively over-used is a nicer name than Tess so why not do Ava Tess as others have suggested.

Well, because I see Tess as a name in its own right and I like it. I find it highly unlikely that people will randomly lengthen her name 😂

You'll find out soon enough.

Nickname names tend make people feel uncomfortable as they feel too familiar, particularly in formal settings - so they tend to take a stab at what may be the full length version.

At the very very least she will get a lot of "Tess short for...?" 'Tess is that Tessa/Theresa".

Jessica?

The A of the middle name makes me read Tessa Va as Tessa is a name I've heard more.

I like Joanne with your other names or Teigan

Tess is lovely and works well with your other DD's names imo. Phoebe isn't my taste, sorry. Ava is okay but I must admit I really like the sound of Tess Imogen, followed by Tess Olivia. Other ideas (for first or middle) -

Juliet (love this with your dd's names - different ending sound to the others but has the "L" link in the names)
Evelyn (as above, plus then each DD would start with a different vowel!)
Emmeline
Verity
Lydia
Josephine
Cecelia/Celia
Claudia

You'll find out soon enough.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That’s a nice list iamnitwhoyouthinkiam - thanks!

Estelle as mentioned previously is gorgeous- Estelle Ava, or Ava Estelle. I also love Este.
I love the roll of vowel sounds in your first and second daughters names :)
