Baby girl arriving soon -- down to the name finalists

You've all been so amazing in helping us narrow down our name list. Our top two totally agreed on picks are Julia or Tessa. Please let me know which one you prefer in the poll! If you have time to comment, I can't seem to let go of Felicity -- is Felicity better than Julia or Tessa to you? DH isn't as sure about Felicity, so we will have to see. I want him to love the name too of course.

Shannon is a family name, and is not 100% set (we also like Tessa Juliet) but we think we would like the middle name to have family significance. Big brother is Benjamin Graeme and big sister is Violet Elizabeth.

Thanks for helping us name baby #3!

  • I like Felicity better than Julia and Tessa, but I like all of them.  I think you can't go wrong.

  • I love love love Felicity. I think it's so lovely, and I'm a big fan of virtue names.

    That said, if you don't go for Felicity (and it is awesome) then my next choice would be Julia. I like Tess/a, but I like it as a nn for Therese/a, by itself Tessa just seems unfinished.

    I don't love Julia.  I really like Tessa, prefer Tessa Juliet.  Felicity would be my second choice.
