Comments for Jessica
I think this name is pretty. It reminds me of a fun, happy girl. However, this name is starting to get SO POPULAR!

I find Jessica too trendy, popular, overused and boring. I worked with two Jessicas and there were multiple in my school. It's another name I dislike and I wish it would not be used so much.

Heya, my name is Jessica and everyone on here is saying that my name is 'this and that' and that it is very common but it's not really! I mean I only know 1 other Jessica and she is only a baby! I think it is more popular in the U.S.A than over here in England.

I'm not sure why exactly, but I've never really liked this name. Maybe it's because I knew a Jessica in primary school who was a bit odd. I'm not sure. I don't really like the "jess" sound in names, I guess.

My name is Jessica, and I find it way too common. My mom told me that she named me after Carly Simon's song "Jesse". So, I use Carly as my nickname.

I have my name, Jessica, and I kind of like it. Well, I have my own nickname: Jessibee, Jessie Bee, sometime Jezzie, or Jazzie (rare). It won't get confused.

Jessica is my mom's name. She said when she was a kid there were barely any Jessica's. I love the name, too.

My name is Jessica. It is far too common. I would rather have an original name rather than one that's like "oh yea there are seven of them in my class" Seriously, I have known more Jessica's than I can count. The only nice part of my name is that my initials happen to be "JES" therefor making it a tiny bit original. Honestly, give Jessica a break. Just to note, all the celebs that have this name make me want to die.

This is my name and, personally, I don't mind it. Although I haven't really known all that many Jessica's throughout my life, I am well aware that there are several out there, and I find that it has practically no originality. I don't like it, I don't hate it, but I like my nickname from it because, well, I don't know a single other 'Jesi' out there. :)

I'm sorry to disagree, but even though Jessica was a trendy name, I don't think there are too many of them. I do agree that, in a hundred years or so, this name will sound "fresher" as you put it, but I think that, for now Jessica is a beautiful name! My name is Jessica, and I am young. I really like my name and I find that I have a name that is fun, easy to spell and great to grow up with!

Way too many Jessica and Ashleys in the world! Those names need to drop off the face of the earth for about 50 years, until most of the people with these names have died, and then make a come-back when they will sound a little fresher.

My name is Jessica and I really like it. I live in Spain and it's not common over here so I haven't got any problems with popularity. The Spanish version of Jessica is Juana and that's very popular. They also write it with a y: Yesica. I find it awful.

My name is Jessica and my middle name is Marie. Both are all too generic for me so I really don't like my name that much. There are at least 7 others with it in my grade alone. Although I do like the name Jess, which is what I go by. I'd rather be named Tessa.

I was almost given this name, and I am glad I wasn't, because it's too common in my generation and there aren't many pretty abbreviations. Beware that if you name your daughter Jessica she will be one of many!

Firstly, I don't think it's right for people to say, "anyone who's considering this name should reconsider." Isn't that forcing your opinion on someone else a little too harshly?
I have a cousin who would like to name her children all classic Jewish names. She has one child already, Jacob. And if she has another boy, it will be Joseph. If a girl, Rachel. I suggested Jessica, if she has two girls. It doesn't go perfectly, but it's a beautiful name.
I especially started appreciating it when I found out J. K. Rowling's daughter was Jessica.

For some reason, when I think of the name Jessica, I don't associate it with Jessica Simpson. Not that I don't like Jessica Simpson, but for some reason, when I think of the name Jessica, it reminds me of a sophisticated person; a Shakespearean character.

I know that this name is SOOO popular, but for me, it is and always will be a lively, simple and classic favorite of mine. :) Now, I have to wait until the popularities go down completely before I would consider it for my future daughter. I think that this is, unlike MaryJane, Norma, Edna and Hildegarde (whatever that means), this name will never loose its charm. At least not for a long, long time. Peace Out!

I have also seen this spelled Jessicka, and that is my personal favorite spelling.

In my opinion this is a very beautiful name with a strong biblical background and although it is over used in the USA I must say here in Ireland it is not so much so (at least where I live) as I only know 3 people with the name myself. It is also the name of one of my nieces and she loves it (but often shortens it to Jesse).

My niece's name is Jessica. She finds it too common and wishes she had something more original. Aside from it being too popular, I think it is a pretty name.

Jessica is my name and I have always felt like it's too common for my liking. Still, I am rarely ever called Jessica because of my nicknames; Jess and Jessi.

My name is Jessica and while people say it is very common, I think it is rather rude for people to leave comments saying such things as Jessicas are promiscuous, silly, or airheads. You cannot judge everyone with a certain name just because you have met other people with that name who act a certain way. I mean come on, there's more to people than their names. I happen to enjoy my name and I don't know very many other Jessicas so I consider myself lucky. You can still be an individual even if other people have your name too.

This name is used an awful lot (I had a class during my senior year in high school with no less then three Jessicas), but it remains a beautiful name. All the Jessicas I've known have also been unique individuals.

It's much too overused, and many, many of girls I have personally known named Jessica have been indiscriminately promiscuous and/or airheads.

The name Yiskah (יסכה) actually comes from the Hebrew root sachah (סכה) which means "to see." Adding the yud implies future tense which makes the name imply "to vision" or "to see into the future."
I'm not sure where this meaning "God beholds" comes from--I have seen it on other name sites but in my research, which included midrash (commentary on the Torah) of both classical and contemporary scholars, I've never seen this meaning. Also, I've seen many places cite that Jessica is a feminine form of Jesse (Yishai in Hebrew) which is also most likely incorrect--although we don't know what Shakespeare was thinking. ;)

I think the name Jessica is too overused considering it's not a great name. If you're considering this name for your child think about how she may be one of many at school.

Jessica is a variation of Jane. And has the same meaning: graceful white lily. Love it!

"No! Jessica and Jane are not related and neither mean lily. Presumably, the meaning you are thinking of it for Jessamyn/Jessamine, which is its meaning, approximately. The name Jessica is unrelated to Jane, however, the name Jessie was formerly used, particularly in Scotland circa the 19th century, as a nickname for Jane; in that form, it was actually unrelated to Jessica.

Jessica Simpson (born Jessica Ann Simpson on July 10, 1980) is also an actress. At the age of 12, she made an unsuccessful attempt to be a character on "The New Mickey Mouse Club". Other singers that tried out and made it were Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera. She made her singing debut on November 23, 1999, when her popular album "Sweet Kisses" came out. She recently starred as Daisy Duke in "The Dukes of Hazzard" and I've heard that another movie "Room Service", will appear in 2006.

Jessica is a lovely name, but it is not mentioned in the Bible. Sarah, Abraham's wife, is not given a middle name in the Scriptures.
