Jessamyn
I haven't been able to get Jessamyn off my mind the last few days. I normally would find most names ending with -yn to feel artificial, but I find Jessamyn incredibly charming. I think I prefer this spelling to Jessamine as well. It might be a fleeting thing for me, but what are your thoughts?Also, any combo ideas? I was thinking a little about Mara Jessamyn and Alice Jessamyn.Thanks!

I don't like it. I think Jessamine is prettier.

I prefer Jessamine for its appearance and sound, but I don't like it enough to use it.

I like Jessamine in so much as I wouldn't use it, but I'd be excited to meet someone with the name. If I thought I was meeting a Jessamine and in fact had met a Jessamyn, I would be a smidge disappointed. As for combinations, I kind of want to go completely over the top with Tallulah Jessamine. Mara Jessamine is sweet in modern, rounded kind of way. I'd like Margaret Jessamine "Mara".

Tallulah Jessamine! Wow love that. I wasn't into Tallulah / Talulla until recently. I find it charming in the same way that I find Jessamyn / Jessamine.

I like Jessamyn. It feels very British which in some ways is good, people tend to look favorably on that. Between it and Jessamine though, I'd choose Jessamine. It's just more visually appealing to me. I'd also like to recommend just Jessamy, it's nice.Adelie Jessamyn

Sylvie Jessamyn - I have heaps of Sylvie Jessamine ____ combos. I think it works really well.

I used to like Jessamine, but now it just makes me think of the word 'specimen'

I don't really like it much. To me it sounds like a well-behaved sneeze. If you used Alicia Jessamyn it would be two well-behaved sneezes in a row! Mara calms Jessamyn down a little, though. If I had to use it I'd pair it with something like that to give it some grounding. I find Alice much too airy to use with this.I don't really have much preference, Jessamyn or Jessamine... the -yn ended does make the it look a little artificial/faddish, though, just because there's so much of that around at the moment.

It's not terrible, and I know it's an actual name, but it seems like a hedging-their-bets kind of thing done by parents who thought Jasmine was too trendy and Jessica too dated. It is pretty-sounding but lacks the strength of Jasmine or Jessica.

I do like Jessamine, but Jessamyn bother me a lot.

I really like it, but I do prefer Jessamine - the spelling looks more classic and less trendy. Mara Jessamyn sounds great, I'm not sure about Alice Jessamyn even though I love the name Alice. It does sound good with girls names ending in A.How about...
