Jessa for a girl

[twinklestar2]

Yay or nay?

Think there will be a lot of correcting people that it's not
Jessica or Tessa. Nay, sorry.

I agree with pp, what about Jecca?

Sounds to me like there are letters missing and it should be Jessica.

I really love it. I like that the sounds are familiar - Jessica, Tessa - but that it's just a little bit different. She just sounds like a hip girl. There's also Jessamine, which comes from the medieval French word for jasmine.

Oh and I know a Jessica who has said that she wishes her name was Jessa! (Why she can't just use it as a nickname is beyond me...)

ooh, I rather like that.

And there's Jessamy, too. Like Jessica/Jessamine, easily contracted to nickname Jessa if you/your daughter/her friends prefer....

I like it. Better than Jessica or Tessa.

Jessamy is lovely.

I like Jessica but it's spoilt by a friend I've fallen out with, plus it's really popular.

Jessa is a name I heard years ago; it's the nickname a friend of a friend who's name is Jessica.

Well Jessamy and Jessica are lovely but Jessa as a name on its own sounds a bit made up and trying too hard to be 'different'.

Yes from me. I love it.

I've only heard it on Girls, which would put me off tbh. I don't think many people watch it though and I'm sure it'll've faded without trace in 5 years time.

I do like the name but maybe put Jessica on birth certificate.

Fine as a nickname for Jessica but I wouldn't use as a stand-alone name.

What's that family called with about a million children called -is it the duggars?

They have a jessa
