Can't decide which one for my baby girl due later this year.

Tessa.

I have a little Anna. It’s beautiful, strong and elegant. Works internationally and haven’t yet met another this age!

PinkSyCo · 12/03/2022 10:57

I have a Tessa. I love it because it’s pretty and quite unique (at least I’ve never met any other Tessas) without being too out there. Bit like my DD really. Smile

Anna

Mrsbclinton · 12/03/2022 12:16

Anna
Tessa
Mia

Tessa probably, through prefer as a nn for Esther or Teresa

Anna is a great classic though

Not Mia, done to death and v insubstantial compared to the other two

8stone13 · 12/03/2022 12:18

Definitely Anna.

Mia, there's thousands of them these days.

Tessa I find a bit of a non-name. I can't get a hold of it 🤔

I am biased though as I have an Anna. I think it's the definitive classical female name. Mine is named in homage to the great actress Anna Massey.

You can be a 2 year old Anna, a 22 year old Anna, a 32 year old Anna or an 82 year old Anna.

Not Mia. Too popular, too similar to other names and sounds like mere

I love Tess but not keen on Tessa.

I like Ann, Annie and Anna

I'd pick Tess or Anna

Pamlar · 12/03/2022 18:53

Love Mia and Anna
Anna is timeless. So that would swing it for me

Mumofgirls2017 · 12/03/2022 22:21

Anna

SellFridges · 12/03/2022 22:26

Anna is classic.
Tessa is cool.
Mia is a bit meh.

Snowbell99 · 12/03/2022 22:38

I dislike Tessa, so incredibly harsh.

Anna is fine but so bland and boring.

Mia is so trendy and popular.

How about Annabel? Or Maya?

I guess I would pick Mia but I dislike it.

lemoncrisp · 13/03/2022 06:36

Anna would be my choice - strong, classy and feminine. Tessa - nice but not as good as Anna. Mia- don't like this one.

ralanne · 13/03/2022 08:57

I like Mia, although it is quite popular at the moment. Tess is lovely (d'Urbervilles) - prefer that to Tessa. Anna is a bit plain.

Meandthesky · 13/03/2022 13:19

Definitely Anna, it’s classic and timeless

applecatchers36 · 13/03/2022 13:26

Tessa

chattycaterpillar · 13/03/2022 13:26

I really like Mia :)

At the moment! For at least the last 15 years I'd say!

thebellsesmereldathebells · 13/03/2022 19:47

I like Tessa best, though I prefer it as a shortening for Teresa

Anna is nice but a bit plain

I've never liked Mia, it's a wussy nothing name.

ComeUnderMySexBlanket · 13/03/2022 19:48

Anna

BananaSpanner · 13/03/2022 19:48

I have an Anna, never regretted it and she’s the only one at her school.

DogsAndGin · 15/03/2022 21:11

Dislike all of them, sorry OP.

Fivebeanchilli · 16/03/2022 07:37

My favourite is Tessa.
Anna is lovely too.
Mia always seems insubstantial to me.
