Comments for the name Jessalyn

A famous bearer is Jessalyn Gilsig, who plays Gina Russo on the TV show Nip/Tuck.

My name is Jessalyn. I think it is a very elegant and uncommon name; I have never met another person named Jessalyn. The worst part about it is that it is constantly mistaken for Jocelyn, a name I can't stand.

Lovely name, quite uncommon. Never met a Jessalyn, I have met a Jesselyn though, and I have heard of someone named Jessilyn. Jessalyn is definitely preferable to Jocelyn.

This name looks very forced. Plus, I don't like the sound of it.

Interesting name. It does actually look like it can be a variant of Jocelyn, but Jocelyn (and consequently Joss) I've always viewed as a male name. I actually like Jessalyn. Although as far as like-sounding names are concerned, I prefer Jessamine (a variant of Jasmine, and its own plant) to Jessalyn.

My name is Jessica Lynn, and because I have such a common surname as well as a first name for people my age, I have considered changing my name to Jessalyn to achieve some originality. Very nice name!

Melissa Benoist played a character named Jessalyn on an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent before being cast as Marley on Glee. That Jessalyn was a dancer.

This name is gross. I can't stand the "Jess" and "alyn" combined together. Sorry.
