it may be a lot of things but i cant imagine how you could call Jessica chavvy???

Nancy66 · 04/04/2010 12:14

Neither - just boring.

ben5 · 04/04/2010 12:22

love it. if i had a dd i would of called her jessica. i know it sounds terrible but when you have to shout at her to tell her off, it's a great name to shout!

Haven't heard it used for a while, was very popular 5 years ago locally.
I think it's pretty.

I don't like it myself, but I think it's quite a classic name, I'd not call it Chavvy.

tummytickler · 04/04/2010 12:42

not chavvy, but very, very, very boring!

5DollarShake · 04/04/2010 13:19

Neither sophisticated nor chavvy. It's nice - it's just not either of those adjectives!

CurlyCasper · 04/04/2010 15:14

Not boring at all - lovely name and certainly not chavvy.

LadyOfTheFlowers · 04/04/2010 15:26

Have never heard it called 'boring' before.

Tis my name.

I wasn't so keen on it when I was younger - I wanted to be called Sophie or Sarah or the like but loved it once I was older.

Dull.

lovely name

BunnyLebowski · 04/04/2010 17:53

Yawnsville.

And very dated.

My friend called her DD Jessica, she's now 2 and totally gorgeous. Great name. Never thought of it before my friend called her DD it though.

elmofan · 04/04/2010 18:12

i like it , it was on our short list for dd .

madamefreckle · 04/04/2010 20:59

Excellent name - Jess/Jessie are lovely too. Have taught some great Jessicas!

iamwhatiamwhatiam · 04/04/2010 21:02

I thikn it's quite popular (if that bothers you - it doesn't me).

I like it.

KAEKAE · 04/04/2010 23:20

Slightly boring, I know two under fives now, I don't think its as popular as it once was. I prefer the NN Jessie as opposed to Jess.

newmomma · 05/04/2010 20:10

Hmmm...

That's my only reservation - I'm really not keen on Jess.

Better suggestions then - from those of you who think its very dull?

Don't want 'new and trendy' or 'too common', just traditional and a bit underused...?

I think its a lovely name

lucy567 · 06/04/2010 11:31

I like it, but just started DS2 at nursery today and there are 2 Jessica's in a class of 9. Staff say it can be confusing for them as they both look up when their name is called!
