    Greta and Maren are NMS but they're the only decent names on your list in my opinion

    Greta or Maren. I like Etta but think it works best as a nickname. The rest are pretty trendy /teen mom.

    All of these are NMS but if I had to pick one from the lost id say Tessa by process of elimination.

    I think Maren is a really pretty name that would also grow well into an adult name.

    I love Maren and Gretta! They would both be on my list, except that DH vetoed Gretta, and Maren doesn't work with our last name.

    Etta is the name we're using for our daughter due in Jan.

    My Italian grandmother was named Concetta, that's where we got the idea.

    I like Maren a lot too.

    My favorites are
    Harlow
    Hollis
    Maris
    Tamsin
    But I really don't think you can go wrong with any of them. In my opinion Tessa is the worst. But that's only because I have never known a nice Tessa before.

    I like Tessa (or Tess) a lot, Greta is pretty, and Maren is ok. The others aren't my style.

    My daughter is Maren, so I am biased - it's my favorite on your list! :)  We get a lot of compliments. Greta would be my second choice.

    We went to the hospital with two names and decided after she was born.

    Gretta - *LOVE* but with 1 "t" (on my list)
    Etta - nope
    Harlow - eh, cute but NMS
    Hollis - nope, reminds me of bad part of town here
    Kenna - too trendy sounding for me
    Maren - really like!
    Tamsin - nope, just NMS at all
    Tessa - love

    Overall, I like your list, even though they are mostly names I wouldn't consider.

    Gretta -- should be spelled Greta, I think.  NMS, but not awful if spelled the right way.
    Etta -- this is an interesting choice!
    Harlow -- dislike.
    Hollis -- dislike.
    Kenna -- this seems like a made up name, and it's also a little masculine.
    Maren -- an unusual and non-traditional choice.  It's not a "pretty" name, but classic.
    Tamsin -- too weird for me.
    Tessa -- really like it.

    I'd love to here more of which ones you like than dislike. . . 
    Thanks all!

    I have only heard Tessa as a nn for Theresa.  Maren is nice.

    I like Greta (one t) and Maren is ok.  Tessa is cute but I agree that it is usually short for Theresa.  Not a fan of the others.

    I like Greta, maren, and tamsin.

    Kenna just seems like a nickname to me.

    Maren and Tamsin. Though I'm used to maren spelled Mairin but that's only because I have one of those in my life :) I'm not sure how it is usually spelled but you're likely right.

    Tessa is ok but I prefer Tess.
