Thoughts on Jessamy

[GoldenRosebee]

Thoughts on Jessamy (Jess-a-me). It's 17th Century variation on Jasmine and Jessamine.

I like it a lot and no one would have to spell it to me. These days some people are so small minded . Ignore all the silly comments!

I love it, it’s a very old and pretty name. In a similar vein, I love Jennet.

Yes!

I always say this on here. I have the most boring, of its time, name. I was one of 5 on my class all through primary and there were 7 of us in my last job.

I still have to spell my name all of the time.

Do not let the fact that sone people will need it spelling out put you off OP.

It's pretty and unusual.

I really like it,but has a nice sound and is unusual without being 'out there'

Knew a boy called Jessamy when I was a child. Sounds old fashioned now but I really like it.

I love it . I knew one at school so can vouch that it is a name!

I like it!

All names are made up.

Pretty. I like Jessamine too.

I'm very surprised at the vitriol on this thread. I think it's lovely and far better than Jessica which has the horrible sick sound in the middle.

I think a jesslyn would be constantly referred to as josslyn. I liked josslyn but my dh said "every day I'm josslyn josslyn" and it put me off.

It’s a lovely name - Jessemy Stoddart is the only one that I know.

Love it 🩷

I like it. There was a Jessamy a few years above me at school and I always thought it was a lovely name.

Definitely not made up or a new name - this was over 40 years ago!

I really like it. I don't know why it's getting so much hate!

That’s Jesamine - pronounced Jez-a-mean by The casuals in 1968

Jessamy Stoddart who portrays Liberty Savage in Hollyoaks comes to mind.

Immediately thought ‘Jiminy Cricket’

MIL’s extremely posh mate has a daughter with this name. I think it’s a bit ridiculous sounding.

It just sounds made up.

I think it's beautiful. An old name not often used, but spelt as it sounds, and with good nn Jess. I know a young woman with this name.

And for those who suggest Jessamy would have a life time of spelling out her name, I think you would be surprised how often someone like me with a very common name, spelt and pronounced in the usual way, has to spell out and correct the pronunciation of my name. This is not a reason to avoid an unusual name!

😂😂😂

I really like it. It's definitely a real name I am surprised so few people are aware of it .

She can shorted to Jess or Jessie as well
