jessica with the surname.....

[sparkle09]

fletcher? would you?

not expecting but i love the name but was also put of because of our surname.

would like to know if others have the same thought i did.

Why not?

sounds fine to me

Isnt that the woman on murder she wrote??

murder, she wrote?

Yep

here see!!

Oh right lol no I don't think its an issue...

FWIW though i think the name Jessica is lovely

I wouldn't do it, but then I think I watched just about every episode of that show as a kid in the 80s.

Oh dear, I would make that connection. But probably no-one under 16 would so it'll be less of an issue as she grows up.

yes thats the connection i made, such a shame.

i had a similar problem with my name growing up, with lots of grown ups making a connection to a tv programme with just my first name.

i was really gutted i couldnt have jessica as a name due to both names being together i thought it would be worse than what i had to put up with.

Totally think you could use it..... its definitely most important that her peers wouldn't take the rip out of her.

And, if you're going to share a name with anyone, Jessica Fletcher is one plucky lady

Sorry, I mean her peers wouldn't take the rip because its only our generation that would make the connection...

I don't think it would be that much of a problem as fourlittleducks said its unlikely her classmates are going to make the connection.
If I was called Jessica I wouldn't be put off marrying a man with the surname Fletcher, but I love Murder She Wrote so maybe thats why.

Jessica Fletcher is a good person to share a name with. Nobody under 30 will get it anyway.
It's two normal names together so it sounds incidental, not like say Crystal Carrington.

maggie, your so close to the problem i had but it was my first name only, and with that alone i have had alot of comments assuming i was named after said character. (which i wasnt!)

Yes, it is a lovelyname

tis fine.

My surname is fletcher, and we wanted jessica when we were expecting our boys.....didn;t use it obviously.

I now have a neice with that name tho, and she is utterly scrummy, and no one comments as the TV programme is not on anymore so not in current thought (IYGWIM).

when we were expecting DD1, 16yrs ago, we pondered it, but didn;t use it as it was on TV.

if you want it, use it.

tis not as tho you are pondering paris hilton is it

I thought you were going to say Rabbit.
