[Opinions] Jessica
Replies
My firstborn is Jessica lol. It was very popular here when she was born and I was very young. I wouldn't choose it now but I loved it then. She was one of 4 in her class in primary school though.
It's not a personal fave, but it's a nice enough name. I like Jess a lot.
I love the combos Jessica Rose or Jessica Erin.
I like it. It's on my favorites, although it's not one I usually think of as a favorite - I do like it that much. It seemed new when I was a kid - the first Jessica I knew (and the only, for a long time) was born in 1969. I never noticed "sick" in Jessica - since the i is not stressed, in California the name comes out more like Jess-uh-kuh and there is no "sick" sound there at all. I think it's nice and elegant, and not too dated for having been popular - like Rebecca and Melissa and Rachel (or Rachael). I've met far more Melissas and Rachels than Jessicas in my lifetime. I've never known a Jesse, at least not one I remember - so that name only makes me think of Jesse Jackson and Jesse James. But I could see how having a brother Jesse could spoil Jessica and make you notice the "sick" in it.

It's always been in my top five, if I bothered ranking them. At this point, I think if we had another daughter her name would probably be Jessica.
I have a friend in her seventies named Jessica. She was named for her mother, who in turn was named for an aunt, so obviously the name was getting some use quite a ways back; the family came from Portugal and according to my friend the name was very much in style there a hundred or more years before it got much use here.

I think Jessica is beautiful. I know a few, but honestly I don't see it as being dull or boring.
I don't hear the sick part really. I would use Jessica on a daughter tomorrow.

I've been liking Jessamine recently.
I had a great-grandmother called Jessie Mae. She was a spunky old lady in the 90s, and I think it fit her. Jess / Jessie sounds cute to me right now, and I've always liked Jesse, though they do sound a bit dated. Jessica sounds even more dated than those, and I've never liked the "sick" sound in it either, but I don't hate Jessica...
In a way, it reminds me of Miranda, which I like...still, I'd prefer to see it as a MN.

I love it but I am extremely tired of it because I've known so many and for this reason I am very very glad I didn't use it.
My mother wasn't a name nerd and didn't speak about names very much, but I do remember her remarking that she hated Jessica so I guess there was never a chance I'd be one.
