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.
