FWIW my best friend's name is Tessa and per her (and my own experience--we've discussed this) Tess is almost always only a nickname, like how you'd assume anyone named Dan is probably a Daniel. I guess Tess of the D'urbervilles not withstanding ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899955 Fri, 18 Oct 2019 11:35:01 +0000 Chuckles 2899955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the reassurance, everyone! Now to get DH on board. He said that he likes our original choice of Hannah better. I would be fine with either, but maybe I'll ask to do what we did with DS - keep two choices and wait until she's born to decide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899940 Fri, 18 Oct 2019 09:55:23 +0000 MoonMoon 2899940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tessa is a beautiful name! And would work better with your last name than Tess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899934 Fri, 18 Oct 2019 09:33:47 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2899934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Tessa as well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899913 Fri, 18 Oct 2019 07:45:32 +0000 erinbaderin 2899913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Tessa. I think it sounds fine, but also remember that it's very rare that people are going to call her Tessa Lastname all in one breath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899912 Fri, 18 Oct 2019 07:30:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2899912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that name sounds beautiful. Tessa flows well with your last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899910 Fri, 18 Oct 2019 07:10:12 +0000 hellobeeboston 2899910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! Sounds great to me.</p> <p>And I love that name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899788 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 21:52:09 +0000 bees_knees 2899788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Tessa LastName is super cute!!! Not weird at all and flows perfectly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899786 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 21:36:27 +0000 Chuckles 2899786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JCCovi: @PinkElephant: @Kemma: Thanks, ladies! I agree that Tess is worse. I'm glad that Tessa doesn't sound weird to you. We'll see if I can get DH on board with it. We actually already have another name picked out, I just can't stop thinking about other choices for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899785 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 21:31:16 +0000 Kemma 2899785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to Tessa but not so much to Tess (but I still don’t think it’s too bad!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899784 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 21:30:55 +0000 PinkElephant 2899784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JCCovi: this. I have a hard time saying it with Tess. Tessa works - </p> <p>@chuckles: I get what you mean about tessellation, but I never would have come up with it if you hadn’t said it unless I’d just had to read A Wrinkle in Time in a lit class. 🙂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899781 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 21:24:42 +0000 JCCovi 2899781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first thought is that Tessa flows but Tess doesn’t. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-does-it-flow#post-2899780 Wed, 16 Oct 2019 21:01:22 +0000 Chuckles 2899780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the name Tess or Tessa, but our last name is a synonym for street that starts with "L". It's only one syllable. I feel like it wouldn't flow at all and reminds me of the word tessallation (weird, I know). Am I being silly or do the names not go well together? </p>
