Should our baby girl be Tessa or Clio?

The hubs and I go back and forth between Tessa and Clio.Which one do you like the most? Or hate the least? Please help!Big brothers are Leo (which might sound too close to Clio) and Jude.

Thanks in advance!

With a brother named Leo (I LOVE your sons names!), I think that Cleo/Clio is definitely too close. Clio, in sound, is Leo with a C in front. (I think it's a great name, though!) :-)

I'm giving my vote to Tessa. (I can also really see the classic Tess with your sons' names.)

Good luck! :-)

Both are beautiful names but Clio and Leo are definitely too similar. Go with Tessa!

While I love and adore the name Clio, it's much too similar to Leo (which is a wonderful name, by the way). So my vote goes for Tessa.
Tessa, Leo, and Jude. Those names sound wonderful together :)

Best of luck!

Thank you so much! You're right, Clio is out. Not to complicate things but what do you think about Cora? seems like the hubs really wants a "C" in the family.

I LOVE Cora! :-) It feels warm and elegant to me. Cora Genevieve and Cora Josephine are my favorite Cora combos. :-)

Good luck!

Cora doesn't do a thing for me. I find it rather boring.

I do however love Cara.

I also vote for Tessa.
