Help[Opinions] Re: Jessica
in reply to a message by Octavia
I wouldn't dress it up.
Jessica is a name I truly dislike. I have a cousin who has this name, and she is perhaps one of the only people I have ever met who I truly like. I also have a friend who goes by Jess, and I love her too. But just about every other one I've ever met (and everyone has met more than one or two Jessicas... who could not? The name was so popular!) has been snotty or full of herself. No offense is meant to those who have this name. I did list some exceptions.
Jessica just seems like one of those eighties names that is supposed to conjure up wealthy, country-club white girls. Ugh. I really dislike these sorts of names. It reminds me of Ashley and Tiffany and Crystal.

Yeah, that's how it seemed to me for a while. That's how a lot of names used to seem to me, until I became more and more namenerdy and managed to somewhat distance myself from common/vibes to look at the quality of names I like. That's how I've come to like Jessica and Amelia and Bianca and Emily and and Gabriel and Ethan and Adrian, and several others.) (And Maud and Griselda and Ermengarde, and Arthur and Harold and George.) (And I rather like Tiffany. But I wouldn't use it like I wouldn't use Jessica.)
It's very liberating, really. :P But I wouldn't use 80's-fab names praactically because there are many great names that aren't 80's-fab. So.
