prefer Jessica or Jeska.
Too long, IMO. I like Jessamy much better.
I've always really liked this one-even thought of using it with the possible nn of Jessa.
I associate this name with Jessamyn West, so it sounds very literary to me.

I wouldn't use it, but I like it. I've never really like the name Jessica, but Jessamine sounds less stuck up and more refined than the other Jess- name. I like the nn Jessa.
It doesn't really fall into any of the categories of names that I'm prone to liking. For me, the name lacks substance or any significant meaning. I fear that it could possibly rise in popularity in the next few years as parents look for cool alternatives to the ultra-trendy names of today.
It does have some neat possibilities for nicknames, though. Jessa is a chic alternative to Jess and Jessie.
