I only know one girl named Jessi (and it's spelled that way, not Jessie). People always seem to assume that her full name *must* be Jessica; she very good natured about explaining, but it probably gets old fast.

I don't actually know many Jessicas at all. One who I knew as a child went by Jessie. As an adult, I can only think of two I've encountered (also adults), and both were "Jessica"--not "Jessie" or even "Jess."

Actually, when I think about it, I've met way more males named Jesse than girls named Jessie (or Jessica) in my life.
