How old is Jessica?

[Bedpost]

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?

I have an aunty Jessica ( in her 70's)
My son's gf is a Jessica (19)
I have had 4 Jessica's on my case load in the last few years ( age 8-14l)
To say what age would I think if I saw it written down would depend on what I was reading.

Any age. It's a shakespearean name

Loads of them in their teens

I work with children from tiny baby age up to 11 years and there are Jessica’s dotted all the way through, it’s very popular still

27 - friend of DD

I went to school with loads of Jessica's so I'd say late 20s to early 30s is what springs to my mind, but i also know of a few little jess / jessicas who are about 5 and under.

I also know of two Jessa's who must both be 2 or 3 years old by now.

I know a Jessica (Jess) who is 13 - I think it's lovely

Early 30s

I don’t think I know any school age Jessica’s

It was 37 on the list of most popular baby girl names in 2020

The ones I know are 15-30 or 80s, nothing in between!

Early 30s.

I would say it's timeless.
It's a beautiful name.

Mine is 20

Mine is 13. We have three Jessica’s in our school.

Yes but it's still gone in peaks and troughs of popularity in more recent times. I am in my 50's and I never came across a single Jessica in my life until my peers started using it for their daughters around 25-35 years ago.

I know Jessicas ranging from 2 to 52! It’s pretty timeless IMO. Id probably assume 20-30 age range.

Y7 and Y6.

Agree it’s timeless but I would automatically think of someone young maybe 20-30

I know a 3yo and a 4yo

Timeless classic. The I know 2, one is about 40 and the other is 9.

About 32

It's not as popular as it once was, I'd say most Jessicas around are probably in their 30s? As I think it had a surge of popularity in the 80s. But it's a lovely name and has been around for ever, appears in Shakespeare as a pp pointed out.

Certainly not 'old lady' though, don't know what that person was thinking.

I know two Jessicas.

One is 53, the other is 20.

Pretty timeless I’d say. InJessicas who are 3, 14, 40s and 90s!
