Jessica

Be interested to know people’s opinions on Jessica. Is it dated or a classic? It’s retained its popularity for a long time now. I love the solid nn options too.

Lovely

Love these comments. My daughter is called Jessica, born 2006 😊

It's my least fav name ever. Very 90s.

I know a little Jessica and it's a really lovely name. Not too common either.

apparently Jessica ranked as the 37th most popular name last year. hadn't realised it was as common as that.

It’s my fave girls name. My daughters middle name. We called her Abigail because my partner wouldn’t agree with Jessica as her first name. But I think it’s a beautiful girls name

Its lovely....its a classic

It's a classic but also very popular if that bothers you.

You're going to hate me and I profusely apologise but I dislike the sic(k) in the middle.

For some reason here there are several Jessica’s and many Sophie / Sophias in ever class. There are 3 Jessica’s in my daughter’s class.

I love it. Haven't met a Jessica in years! Great name

I've always liked Jessica. Yes, it was huge in the '90s, but it deserved to have its time in the Top 10. A fresh, happy, high-spirited name and, as PPs have said, consecrated by the Bard!

Lovely name! It is a classy, solid name that can be used for a kid or woman. I like Jess as a nn

Thank you all for your opinions, looks like a strong contender!

Love it. I know two under five.

Can't go wrong with Jessica.

Jessica Mitford was 1920s 30s ? I think it is a good name - classic and strong.

I have a classic Jessica 1989. Still love it and all it's variations.

I love it too. Don't think it's dated like Chloe or Lauren. It's a classic. My friend has teens Jessica and Rebecca - beautiful.

My Jessica is the only Jessica in her school. At the school I teach there is only one Jessica. I obviously love it but do agree it's a bit 90s! My Jessica is under 5, though. We call her both Jessica and Jess without much thought.

Jessica is a lovely name. It isn’t one of the current trendy names, which means she most likely won’t have many classmates with the same name.

As a teacher, there were a few names that I associated with very unpleasant children. When my son and DiL were thinking of naming their baby one of “those” names, I kept quiet and tried to rid my brain of the negative associations. Fortunately they settled on a different name! 😳
