[Opinions] Sophie or Tessa?
I have 2 daughters, Callie and Sienna, and now 1 more on the way! Which name do you think goes best: Sophia or Tessa? Do you like Sophia or Sophie? Also, our last name starts with Mc-. Do you think Sophia/Sophie sounds strange being as we have an irish last name??
Any other suggestions? Thx :)

Sophia is by far nicer than Sophie, which sounds fluffy and childish. I also like Tessa a lot, though. Sophia sounds fine with a McLastname.I would pick Tessa, though, as you already have a daughter with an S name.

I'd go with Tessa. It's pretty, cute and fits nicely with your other daughter's names.

I think Tessa is definitely the best fit with Callie and Sienna. Between Sophia and Sophie, I prefer Sophia and no, I don't think either is odd with an Irish surname. Perhaps at one time, but not in today's global village.

I dont like either name, but Sophie is better than Sophia.
Sophia sounds abit posh compared to your other girls names. Btw Sienna is my daughters name too."GoTheSaints"

I prefer Tessa, as Sophie and Sophia seem to be getting very popular. Tessa is pretty and feminine, IMO, and fits well with Callie and Sienna :-) Good luck!Check Out Blinkyou.com for thousands of custom glitters and layouts

I like both, but I like Sophie more. But then I'm torn bc of the whole CSS or CST... with 3 girls CSS, the C name seems off to me, like they should all be S names haha. BUT, that's just me! Either one is pretty and I think either would go with an Mc-Irishy last name =DStephie.'Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.' Proverbs 4:23

I don't think Sophie/Sophia would sound strange with an Irish last name at all. I prefer Sophia, and you could always use Sophie as a nn.Of the two I like Sophia best, but Tessa is very pretty as well. Considering your other daughter's names I'd say Tessa would fit the sib set best, since Sophia/Sophie and Sienna have sort of a similar sound, so I pick Tessa:)

I think Tessa with the nn Tess would fit great.

I don't think that it would be strange to use Sophie or Sophia with an Irish last name. Both are fairly international names. Sophie is less common than Sophia is in the U.S., but they're both so similar that it doesn't really matter which one you use in terms of popularity. I prefer Sophia and Sophie over Tessa, but Tessa seems to be a better fit with Callie and Sienna.More ideas:

Ruby
Laurel
Nora / Norah
Ava - Very popular though.

Well, I would say Tessa fits better. Sophia and Sienna are rather close. But Sophia is much prettier.

I'd say Tessa fits best with the others.
Just say this:
Sienna, Sophia and Callie, then Callie sounds like the odd one out, because the others both start with an S and end in an A, Sophie would fit just as well as Tessa I think.

I definitely prefer Sophie. Tessa is dnmsaa...I've never warmed up to it. It's just one of those names that I see no appeal in. Sophie is a cute & sweet name. Overall, I must say, though, I much prefer Sofia (with this sp.), perhaps with the NN Sophie. The sp. Sophia isn't bad; I just prefer it with a "f". I think Sophia/Sofia loosk & sounds so much more complete and will age better than Sophie, which, to me, seems more little-girlish. I don't think it'd sound strange with an Irish last name. It's definitely becoming more popular, so I think it'll fit in.
