[Opinions] Re: Jessica
in reply to a message by )(
It's my sister's name. It was a Shakespeare invention, just like Miranda.
I think it has a neat history, and it makes me think of Jessica Mitford and her sisters. I also think of Jessica Tandy. I've come across the name fairly often in books featuring upper class characters in the 1900s-1920s.
That said, I'm not a fan. I don't like the sound. I love Melissa which has a similar history, but the ka sound is Jessica is unpleasant to me.
