[Opinions] Re: Jessie
in reply to a message by Lily
I think it fits in with naming trends today, just as Maisie and Milly do.
If I was going to use it, I'd decide definitely which meaning I was going with - Jessie as a form of Janet or Jean (as traditionally in Scotland) or as a feminisation of Jesse. In my case, a version of Janet/Jean wins hands down. I like the historical legacy, and the other option seems forced to me.

With just Jessie you can't decide on a meaning. It just has two meanings.
