HelpRe: Niobe and Jessamine

I think you mean the Infernal Devices series.
Jessamine wasn't created for the series. Those books have only been out a couple years, but the name is older than that. If you read the comments for Jessamine, the first one was written in 2006.

It's been in use as a given name since at least the 1600s. It may have originally been unisex: I just found a will for a 'mariner second mate' named Jessamine who died in 1771.

Yes, that's why I said I wasn't sure. Regardless, Nice names. :)
