I love just Tess or classic Teresa with the diminutive Tess, but Tessa always makes me think the parents couldn’t decide between the two 🤣

I also think Serena is quite elegant and don’t mind Elena (though I much prefer Shakespearean Helena). Less keen on Kiera due to spelling issues and slightly dated feel.

I slightly prefer the first three to Kiera.

Correct spelling of Kiera is Ciara btw.

I quite like them all, apart from Kiera. My favourite is Elena, nickname Lena, but there will probably be pronunciation issues. Like others, I prefer Tess to Tessa. I also like your later suggestion of Cassandra.

I actually really like Tessa (and Tess/ Tessie) and find it an underrated name. It sound a classy and sophisticated but also cute.

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 03/01/2025 08:42

Serena is nice but prefer Seren although that sounds quite different.

Like Serena, prefer Stella. Dislike the other three.

Tessa - keen on hockey and cleaning out the stables
Elena - my former cleaning lady
Keira - not a pleasing sound to it, KEEER-uh

I love Tessa and Elena.
