I'm due Tuesday and dont' know the gender...we are torn b/t:

Girl:  Tess *edit* Elizabeth/Olivia*   AND   Piper Lynn
Boy:  Weston Paul AND Brooks ___ (maybe Paul/Timothy...) 


middle names aren't as important to us as first names.  

I would love to hear any thoughts opinions suggestions from you ladies.  TIA!

    I prefer Tess as a nn for Theresa but I still like it better than Piper which is quite trendy.


    Both names are very trendy as well.

    Tess but not Leah, I think you need something longer but LynnorAnn looks made up (is this a family spelling or name?)
    Brooks is a guilt pleasure name for me but since I'm a runner all it makes me think of is the athletic brand.

    Lynnor? You mean Lenore right?

    Lenore is lovely if you spell it right, otherwise stick with tess.

    Based on your options, I prefer Tess Leah and Brooks Timothy.

    Tessa Lynn 
    Wesley Paul

    Tess is ok
    What about Lenore (mn Ann)?  Love Lenore but I would definitely side-eye Lynnor.

    Weston is one of my guilty pleasures but as PP has said it is very trendy.  Brooks makes me think the parents are either a big country music fans (Garth Brooks/Brooks & Dunn) or just really like Shawshank Redemption.

    I read it as Lynn OR Ann with the spaces missing. Not a fan of Tess Leah because it kind of sounds like Tesla. Don't really care for any of the MN options with Tess because of the flow. All are short, 1 syllable names. I like one of them to be longer. Liked the suggestion of Theresa, NN Tess. I'm NAF of either boy options. They're both uber trendy sounding to me. I do like the boy MNs. Timothy Paul is a solid name.

    Piper and Brooks get my vote. If Tess was Tessa or Weston was Wesley I would vote for those.

    I like Tessa more than I like Tess (but I don't like the name combo Tessa Leah....the middle name would have to change). Tessa Lynn?

    Brooks for a boy.

    Thanks for all your opinions.  We have 2 kids right now a girl Regan and boy Hunter.  For this one leaning toward Tess (or Tessa) for the girl...and for the boy I like Brooks Timothy as you suggested or Weston Paul as I mentioned above.  I guess we'll see how we feel when the baby comes!

    Weston reminds me of the guns manufacturer. I don't understand the Easton/Weston trend. They both sound corporations that make chemicals or something. I know three boys under three named Easton, but both names strike me as trendy. I like brooks a lot and I think Tessa is a lovely, underused name. Good luck on Tuesday!

    I like Therese or Theresa NN Tess for girls.
    Abstaining from boys because I see those as two last names.

    Tess sounds like a nn or an incomplete name. And both boys names sound like surnames so I can't really say there's a combo I like. All your middle names are good though, I suggest a FN mn combo out of those instead.
