[Opinions] Re: Jessica
in reply to a message by Lily8
What do you think of Jessica? Pretty or overused and soon to be dated? How many Jessicas do you know and how old are they? Do you happen to know their middle names or nicknames?
- I love Jessica. Not only is it pretty, but it is Shakespearean, too. Because of that, I don't think that it could feel dated. I've known six Jessicas, ranging in age from 24-28. Five used Jess as an occasional nickname, and one was almost always called Jessie.
Do you think this name will make its way out of the top 100 anytime soon and be usable again? Can you see it sounding really dated soon (like Chelsea) or will it remain fashionable (like Rebecca).
- I don't see it dropping out of the top 100 any time soon, but I think that it is still usable. I don't see it being dated.
Which nicknames do you like for Jessica? Jessie or Jess?
- I like Jess as an occasional nickname.
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?
- I like Jessa on its own, but not Jessie.
Do you like Jennica? Do you know anybody named that and how do they spell it?
- I don't care for Jennica. It just looks like Jessica and Jennifer smooshed together. I've known one who spelled it Jenica.
Do you like Jessamine? Jessamine nn Jessie or Jessa, maybe? Do you prefer Yessica?
- I love Jessamine. I really don't like Yessica.
Any other names that are similar to Jessica but not as common?
Not that I can think of, other than the ones you've already mentioned.
Ada Jessica sounds best, imo.
