I knew a woman named Jessieh once, pronounced that way - except I didn't know it was her name for years, because she only ever went by Jessie. So I thought her "real" name was Jessica for the longest time, until I saw her full name written out once. She was Southern, though her accent wasn't pronounced, so to speak (so a lot of people would've missed it if she hadn't told them), and I always got the impression that she really disliked her name.

I'm guessing the woman I knew had a lot of difficulty in school with spelling issues and confusion with the (male) name Josiah, which added to her apparent dislike. I don't think Jessieh / Jesiah sounds bad, necessarily, but it might be more trouble than it's worth.
