I love both versions, it would just depend on the ln and mn. From your list I love all the combos, except Tessa Melanie, as Melanie is nms. There are so many combos that work for these names.

Tessa

I love Tess. I don't love Tessa.

---

Tess makes me think of "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" (sp?) and I get all nostalgic. :-) Tessa sounds more like a spoiled brat, sorry. It's so princess-y, in a bad way.

---

Tess Eliza is my favorite combination for Tess. (It works as Eliza Tess too.)

I prefer Tessa.

---

Of yours I like Tess Victoria but I like Tessa Victoria (I was out for dinner one night a few years ago and there was a little girl about age 3 or 4, her dad called her Tessa Victoria, I thought it was pretty)

---

I also like Tessa Mae but spelt May, Tess Elizabeth (Tessa Elizabeth would be better) and Tess (or Tessa) Amelia.

---

I think Tessa or Tess can also be nicknames for Theresa too. I went to school with a girl named Theresa Victoria though Victoria was her surname, she got called Tez or Tess sometimes.

---

I prefer Tess, but only as a nickname.

I like both but as nicknames for Teresa/Theresa. I guess I prefer Tessa of the two but they are both nice just not substantial enough to stand alone.

I was thinking about this earlier and ultimatly came to the conclusion that I like Tess best but short for Celeste.

---

I strongly prefer/love Tess.

---

To me, Tess has the feel of a timeless name, whereas Tessa feels really trendy.

Tess...But I'm not a fan of either of them. Tess is kind of nice, similar to Claire or Brooke but Tessa is harsh.

---

Tess Cordelia
Tess Emily
Tess Rosemary
Tess Louisa

---

I think it would work well as a middle name....

---

Estella Tess....hmmmm I think it could grow on me (Estella is my number 1 name and I'm still looking for the right middle name).

I ADORE Tess- it is such a spunky yet sophisticated name. I like Tessa as well but it just doesn't pack the same punch that Tess does in my opinion.

Tessa

I like Tessa Mae.

I know a Tess and a Tessa. I prefer Tess.

I like both, but only as nicknames for Theresa/Therese. I guess I prefer Tess out of them, as it sounds sweeter.

Tess Elizabeth-Love
