This is probably a bit of a stretch, but why not use it as a distant diminutive for
Stephanie /
Stephan? I would only think to offer this if you would only use
Jessie as a nick-name for a more formal first name.
I know
Stephen /
Stephan has
Steve &
Stevie,
Ann &
Anne, and
Stephanie has
Steve &
Stevie,
Ann, &
Anne &
Annie bearing the same set of similar diminutives - however, throughout life, I have naturally called a few
Stephanie's "
Steph", without known protest, yet I've sometimes asked myself or the "
Stephanie" who's name I'd just butchered whether she likes the abbreviated moniker.
