Hi! I've always liked Jessamine and saw it farther down the board on a list of someone's childhood favorites. I've always pronounced it JESS-uh-mine (mine like "the naming book is MINE!", just how it looks, but have also considered JESS-uh-MEEN as a possible pronunciation. But really, Caroline and Evangeline both sound like "ine" so why wouldn't Jessamine? I looked up Jessamine on this site though and it says it's a form of Jasmine and is pronounced JESS-uh-minn. Ohh, never would have guessed that, but I guess Jasmine ends in -ine and is pronounced -in. So, what do you think, which way is it said? Anyone heard this name before? Anyone have pronunciation opinions? Oh and I don't think it's some silly creative spelling because I originally saw the name in a wildflower book.
