Help[Opinions] Jessamine
What do you think of Jessamine? I pronounce the -mine like MINN, not MINE. I used to prefer Jessie but now I like Jessamine nn Jessie a little more. I'd still call her Jessie most of the time, though.
Would it get confused with Jasmine a lot? My favorite combo is Jessamine Rose (because I'd like to call her Jessie Rose sometimes) is it too flowery?
Is Jessie too common as a nickname? Do you know any? Or any Jessicas who go by it?

Honestly. growing up, I encountered maybe one other Jessica? Now that I'm in college, I know or know of a lot more, but I definitely see more of Catherine, Kate, Sarah, etc. Jessica is/was a popular name, and Jessie is a popular nickname, but neither are so common that people have become completely immune or unaffected by the name. I think Jessamine nn Jessie would be sweet! I was Jessie as a child, but once I hit my teens, everyone started calling me Jess all of a sudden.

I love Jessamine.
The county next to mine is Jessamine. We pronounce it -min here. When pronounced -mine it just sounds awkward to me.
I don't think Jessamine would be confused with Jasmine. Or, rather, I can't see how it would be. They sound completely different and though they contain the same letters, they are different enough visually that I don't think it would be an issue.
I think Jessamine Rose is pretty. It's not terribly obvious that both of them are flower names. I know for me it doesn't even register that Rose is a flower when I see or hear the name. And Jessamine doesn't seem to be very well known.
Jessie is a rather common nickname. I know about eleven, all Jessicas.
