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

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My initial reaction was it sounded like something out of "Cats".

haha I thought it sounded like a toy from 80s Play School

In Frederica, Jessamy is a BOY!

I quite like it, but I'd give it to a fictional character rather than a real person. Write it into a bestseller, OP, if people are more familiar with the name it'll be better received when encountered in real life.

I like it. She can always go by Jess if she wants to keep things simple.

to be honest she'll just end up getting called Jess so easier to just go with Jessica?
