I think it's cute but I do only like it as a nickname. But I did meet a
Jessie once (not short for anything) and she was well into her 70's. After meeting her,
Jessie did seem to take on somewhat of a classic charm, with the likes of names like
Millie and
Betsy. I may be the only one that thinks that though. I know it's mostly associated as a nickname for
Jessica (a name I love).
