Iris and Tess are both great, I don't think they're too close for sibs. Louis and Joel are nms, Louis Jasper doesn't sound bad though.

---

Tess Avalon has been a fav of mine a long time ago. It's very hard to find a nice mn for Tess I think. other suggestions:
Tess Evelyn
Tess Ariane
Tess Morgaine
Tess Marion
Tess Kerensa
Tess Lovisa
Tess Delilah
Tess Alicia

Tess - love
Iris - also love and think it's fine with Tess
Louis - I like the pronunciation lou-ee which would be silly in the US. lou-iss I don't really care for.
Joel - love

I think Tess is really cute, I like it a lot. I also love Tessa (actually I prefer Tessa). I think Tess Rainbow, Tess Emerald, Tess Imelda, Tess Elodie, Tess Willow, Tess Janae, Tess Keisha, Tess Lyric and Tess Neriah all sound nice.

---

Are Iris and Tess too close for siblings? Yes, they are too close for sibs imo.

---

WDYT of Louis Jasper? It's fine, as long as you're pronouncing Louis as LEW-ee, not LEW-iss. The "is" on the end of Louis will run into Jasper otherwise.

---

Also, WDYT of Joel? Love it. My younger brother's mn is Joel.

I've been loving Tess, too. At first I worried that it sounded too nicknamey, but now I view it as a little name that packs a lot of punch. One of the reasons I love it so is because of the Katharine Hepburn character in Woman of the Year. Tess Rosemary is beautiful!

I do not believe that Tess and Iris are too close for siblings. They complement each other very well.

---

Louis Jasper is a wonderful combo, but it depends on the pronunciation of Louis. I'm in love with 'loo-WEE', but not the pronunciation of Lewis. Jasper is a great middle name for Louis and the combo looks very distinguished.

---

Joel is ok. It's a little too homely for me, and it doesn't fit well with Louis. It's like a clash of styles.

I like Tess as well : )

---

I agree that Tess Rosemary & Tess Amabel are a little too sweet sounding. I do like the sound of a 3-syllable middle name with it though.

---

I don't think that Tess & Iris are too close at all, I like them together.

---

I'm not crazy about Louis, but I do like Jasper. Joel is okay.

I love Tess. It's a longtime favorite. The Tess combos on my list: Tess Amandine, Tess Amarantha, Tess Amélie, Tess Camellia, Tess Eleonora, Tess Hannelore, Tess Lavender, Tess Viviane. (Obviously I prefer longer middle names with it.)

Iris and Tess are too close for siblings for my liking.

---

Louis Jasper is fabulous.

---

I used to love Joel, but have grown off of it a little over the years. I do still like it, just not as much as I used to.

I think Tess and Iris go very well together.

---

Tess Delphine
Tess Veronica
Tess Valencia (haha, ;) )
Tess Calliope
Tess Tatiana

I am also a fan of Joel, but I can never use it.

I love Iris, but for some reason Tess seems too insubstantial to me as a first name on its own. I prefer it as a nn. Louis Jasper is nice, but I prefer Jasper Louis. And I love Joel.

Tess Ardelia
Tess Cleone / Tess Cleona (I'd pronunce Cleone KLEE-uh-nee and Cleona klee-OH-nuh)
Tess Lucida (loo-SEE-dah, and while it's "it/she (I think) lit up" in Spanish, I've seen it used as a rough translation of "shiny" as well)
Tess Winona
Tess Valaida (vuh-LAY-duh)
Tess Indigo
Tess Winifred
Tess Muriel
Tess Veritas
Tess Vincenza
Tess Daphne

---

I don't think Tess and Iris are too close, though they come near that point. Louis is pretty cool, and Louis Jasper's handsome. Joel's all right, though not one I really care for.

Yep, Iris and Tess are too close in my opinion. I also personally prefer Tess as a nickname for Theresa than a full name.

I love Louis (are you saying lou-ee or lew-is? I prefer lou-ee). Don't like Jasper much, though. It's been getting popular and I don't see the appeal. Sounds nasally and whiney. I don't like Joel, either. It just sounds...ugly to me. Don't know why.

I love Joel
