Help[Opinions] Re: Jessica
in reply to a message by Lily8
What do you think of Jessica?
safe standard
Pretty or overused and soon to be dated?
was overused for a while, but not so much now... My friends have a pre-schooler named Jessica, but I don't know a lot of other baby Jessicas lately... too many Emmas and Emilys...
How many Jessicas do you know and how old are they?
not sure... a handful I suppose... generally in teens, 20s or early 30s (1's 34, but I think the others are all younger)
Do you happen to know their middle names or nicknames?
mns? no... nns? Jess, Jessie, Sica
Do you think this name will make its way out of the top 100 anytime soon and be usable again?
no idea
Can you see it sounding really dated soon (like Chelsea) or will it remain fashionable (like Rebecca).
It could stay if we choose to have it stay... Chelsea doesn't seem so dated to me... except that it immediately makes me think "young".
Which nicknames do you like for Jessica? Jessie or Jess?
Depends on the person and which the person in question prefers...
Do you prefer Jessie or Jessa on their own? Do you think they're too nickname-ish? I kind of like both of them on their own. Would it be just like giving her the popular name of Jessica because all Jessicas go by Jessie?
Well... not all Jessicas will answer to Jessie... any more than all Deborahs will answer to Debbie (I refuse to)... I think my great aunt Jessie was just Jessie and was the one who insisted on my grandma choosing a "real name" for my mum and not just a nn, so mum wound up Trudene, but is called Trudy... If she's just Jessie she may constantly have to correct people that no, her real name is in fact Jessie- NOT Jessica... My friend Eddie has that sort of problem sometimes... People try to turn his name into a "full name", but his real name is just Eddie. As for Jessa, I don't know... doesn't seem quite right... though it may depend what you pair it with... maybe as part of a hyphenated name... Jessa-Mae...
Do you like Jennica? Do you know anybody named that and how do they spell it?
There was a Jenica at camp many years ago when I was a counselor... It's nice enough to use.
Do you like Jessamine? Jessamine nn Jessie or Jessa, maybe? Do you prefer Yessica?
Jessamine? no... Jessilyn is pretty though.
Any other names that are similar to Jessica but not as common?
Jessilyn
How about:
Daisy Jessica ok
Ada Jessica no... I rarely like 2 names in a row ending in a
Emmeline Jessica so-so... not a fan of Emmeline, but it flows
Lola Jessica no... same as Ada
Brooke Jessica ok
