Re: Jessie

I don't care for Jessie as a formal name, as I think it's just plain too nickname-y sounding, and I find it immature (I can't see an adult woman named Jessie). I prefer Jessica with Jessie as a nickname, but I do not think the formal name decision should revolve around a nickname, as the child may not even like the nickname Jessie, and will want to go by her formal name or a different nickname, and you may just settle upon a name you do not fully like.Edit: Changed wording.

Jessie is indeed a name from many years ago, and not a shortened form. In my area, it's occasionally used as a nick name for Ghislaine.

I didn't say...I did not say in my post that Jessie was not "a name." I just said I didn't care for it as a formal name.
