Everyone we have told we are thinking of naming our child Jessica has responded with 'oh'. Nobody seems to like it except us!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I find it a nice name - for a small girl. For some reason it doesnt sound very adult to me. Bit like the Maisy thread.

Think its because it's been overused in recent times but not such in the last couple of years (or not around my way)

IMO -abbreviations to Jessie or Jess are better and more adult.

BUT who caare what other people think though? and I agree with whoever said dont tell anyone til she is born-

Good luck!

It's a lovely name. My doll as a chid was called Jessica after the baby in some mothers do 'ave em!
Just don't tell anyone your chosen name as people love to have an opinion/cats bum face.

I quite like it and know some very nice Jessicas but the "sic" sound puts me off the name a bit. It's very popular but that's because many people like it, so I'm not sure why it's getting a lukewarm reception.

I really like it. My niece is Jessica. Known as Jess or Jessie or Jessibel to those of us who love her. So be prepared.

Also - advice - don't tell anyone the name before baby arrives. You are less likely to get those responses that way!
