Jessamine
What does everyone think of this variant of Jasmine? All of a sudden, I'm totally charmed by it. Do you find it tawdry at all? And what do you think of Jessamy, a variant of Jessamine (and thus a twice-removed variant of Jasmine)?

It's pretty in its own way. But it looks like a mashup of Jessica and Jasmine, and not as nice as either one. And Jessamy looks like a mistake.
Jessamine is Jasmine's refreshing and slightly more spunky cousin. I think it's beautiful. Jessamy is ok. It looks like a "smush" of '80s-type names Jess and Amy though...and it has a childish vibe (I find Amy to be a very childish/babyish name). So putting Jessamy in the middle name spot as you have is a great use of it!
From your list I like:
Jessamine Althea
Jessamine Athena
Jessamine Augusta
Jessamine Clio
Jessamine Laura
Jessamine Ruth
Jessamine Thora
Flora Jessamy
Ida Jessamy
Perla Jessamy
Sibyl Jessamy
Thora Jessamy

I love Jessamine. It's soft and gentle, and Jessie is one of my favorite nns. It's a flower/nature name, but subtle about it, like Daphne. If I'd had a daughter, Jessamine would have been a strong contender. I prefer the variant Jessamyn, because 1) the first time I encountered this name was the author Jessamyn West, and 2) I like the look of the y better (I'm not usually one for variant spelling, but this and Caitlyn are exceptions). Jessamy is nice, but not as nice as Jessamine, the -ee ending seems harder.
