Okay...well just tell me which one you like best lol...I still get to name her. :) But DH isn't here for me to bounce names off of and I need some input.

We've definately decided on Tessa as a first name so which do you like better?

Tessa Riley
Tessa Hope

I love them both and can't decide!

I say Tessa Riley...the hard sound of the "r" after the "a" works better to me than the soft sound of the "h"...but they're both lovely!
 
Tessa Hope for sure! Riley is so unisex and trendy that it downplays the sophisticated feminity of Tessa (which I love).
 
Tessa Riley seems to flow better to me for some reason but I happen to really like the name Hope.

My vote's for Riley though.
 
I LOVE the name Hope, and it's one we considered too, but with the first name Tessa, I like the way Tessa Riley sounds, better!
 
Riley is what I'm leaning toward too...but I still love Hope...our last name is Hawkins though so Tessa Hope Hawkins I feel like may be too much H kwim?

I agree Riley is very unisex these days but it's a name I've always liked...in fact Avery was almost Riley before he was born. Since it would be a middle name though we wouldn't use it that much kwim?

It's so hard for me to make a decision lol!
 
Actually I would have tended towards Tessa Riley, however after I have read now in your last post your last name, I vote for Hope.

Tessa Hope Hawkins

That sounds very beautifully! and I do not find, that then are too much 'H's
 
Tessa Riley Hawkins, you be nice to your mama!

Yep, it works - you can say it quickly in the knock-it-off-or-face-the-consequences mama voice. ;)
 
Tessa Riley, especially with your last name. :)

My mom calls me Tess, always loved that! And my kitty's name is Riley, so no-brainer for me on which one to choose. LOL
