How old is Jessica?

Someone said that they think Jessica is an old lady name but to me it is quite timeless/maybe more popular with people aged 20-40. If you saw the name Jessica written down how old would you expect her to be. Would you be surprised if a baby was called Jessica now/do you know any children called it?

Well Angela Lansbury who played Jessica Fletcher is 96. I can't recall ever having met one. But I think it's lovely

Ps nobody I know my mum's age (70s) is called this although my Gran had a friend called Jess.

I’d say aged 21-30 because I don’t know any children with that name

Swirlywoo · 14/12/2021 14:46

Yes I know children of all ages called Jessica, plus people my age (40s) and younger.
