First Baby. It's a girl. Want to give her both of our last names (Mondo Tiedeken), but no hyphen. Assuming she'll be called Tiedeken (pn Tee-di-kin) in school. We love the mn Bliss, but are open. I think we could agree if I picked FN and He got MN.

Hmmm...well...Bliss and Tess are quite similar in sound--any chance you could use one of the fn's you really love with Tess as the mn?


Scarlett Tess Mondo Tiedeken, Scarlett Tiedeken


Dahlia Tess Mondo Tiedeken, Dahlia Tiedeken


Avery Tess Mondo Tiedeken, Avery Tiedeken


Evangline Tess Mondo Tiedeken, Evy Tiedeken (btw, if you're pronouncing Evy with a long E I would eliminate--EEvie Teedikin is too many eees for me)


I love Lucy, but if he hates it then I would go ahead and eliminate it. Another compromise, though, might be Tessa Lucille or another long version of Lucy.


Scarlett Tess or Scarlett Tessa is my favorite! Good luck!!! :)

From both of your lists, I like:

Dahlia
Evangeline
Tess
Jocelyn

I wouldn't use Bliss with Scarlett (Scarlett Bliss just sounds a little racy to me) or Tess (because of the repeated "ss") - but I think it works with the others.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

If you like Bliss for a middle name, my vote is for Abigail Bliss. It has both traditonal and fun elements, and you have a possible nickname in Abby, if you like.

From both of your lists

I dislike Avery, Scarlett, Abigail, Presley, Jocelyn and Bliss (ok as middle only)

I would eliminate Lucy since he hates it, the spouse should always be able to veto a hated name.

Of the remaining names, I like them all. I could see any as a first or middle name.

Dahlia Tess Mondo-Tiedeken
Evangeline Tess Mondo-Tiedeken
Tess Evangline Mondo-Tiedeken or Tessa Evangline Mondo-Tiedeken
Madeline Bliss Mondo-Tiedeken

I really like Tessa over Tess.

Madeline is my least favorite, I like Dahlia, Evangeline and Tessa all a lot. Dahlia is my favorite.

Suggestions:

Linnea
Alina
Ginevra
Louisa
Isla
Freya
Matilda
Stella
Annora
Anthea
Imogen
Lila
Nina
Adelaide
