- Sabrina
- Tessa (nn Tessie or Tess)
- Tia
You will be able to change your vote.

I like Adrianna a lot (actually prefer Adriana), but I'm not fond of the nn Addie. There are so many Maddies (for Madison/Madeline) around already that she'd just be lumped in. I prefer Annie as a nn.
Lucia is beautiful, too. I assume you're pronouncing it loo-cee-uh? I know a little Lucia pronounced loo-chee-uh, so I wanted to clarify.
I used to love Madeline (that spelling), but it's so popular now and gets lumped in with Madison. Madelyn looks much better than Madalyn, too, IMO.
Martina is nice, but I always picture either Martina Navritalova (sp?) or Martina McBride when I hear it. Would you consider Marina? I like that one, too.
I voted for Sabrina b/c I think it's a beautiful name. It's also well-known, but not popular at all. I think this is a great choice. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have an obvious nn (and I'm a nn person), but I still think it's great.
Tessa is cute, but I prefer Tess/Tessie/Tessa as a nn for Teresa/Theresa.
Tia is also cute, but it doesn't seem substantial enough to me. Also, it means "aunt" in Spanish, so it always sounds a little funny to my ears when I hear someone with the name.
You have some great choices here. Good luck making a decision!
