Operation Middle Name

Right, we thought we had the middle name sorted for our girl's choice, but no...DH has decided against it..

First name is Tess

Surname is similar to Matthews

We have 2 older DDs, with middle names of Charlotte and Louise - so fairly classical with not so classical first names.

I'm thinking along the lines of "something longish ending in a vowel sound" as Tess is so short.

I love Tess Jemima but DH says No to Jemima. Our initial pick was Phoebe but DH has now decided against Phoebe.

I know you don't want to go down the family route, but I actually think Tess Audrey is gorgeous.

Umm...
Elizabeth is obviously the Best and Right choice (and goes very nicely with your other two), but if that won't do, the nearest I can get to Banana is Rosanna. Any good?

You need the stress on the second syllable, I think, otherwise Tess sort of vanishes into the second name.
