Hi everyone,
Baby sister is on the way, and still no name.
Which one of these do you think goes well with an older sister Tess. Which one is your favourite? And why?

Thea, Theia, Teya
Nina
Freya
Reya

I really like Thea, Teya, Theia, Téa pronounced Tay-ah (as opposed to Thee-ah) Can you get the same pronounciation with Thea? I did hear one that goes like that.. And thoughts on same initials with sibling?

Freya also sounds nice but is it too popular?

Nina is quite rare like Tess, didn’t hear any in Kent. But is it english? Or does it sound foreign?

Runners up Tara and Erin, which I dont feel anything tbh.

My first thought was Nell but Holly would work nicely too I think.

Taya is an alternative spelling which might get less mispronounced

I definitely like Nina best esp with Tess 🥰

Not one of the T names.

freya or Nina

I have a Nina and always fancied Tess if I had another. I’d say it’s not particularly English but international like Anna. That said, lots of usage in England - Nina Bawden, Queen’s grandmother, Nina Conti (I think), etc.

Love all your names though!
