Jessalyn Wanlim is a Canadian-American actress and model of Filipino and Chinese Indonesian descent. She played Evie Cho on the science fiction television series Orphan Black, as well as Jenny Matthews on the sitcom Workin' Moms. She had a recurring role in Scoundrels as Patty Hong in five episodes.
I think Jessalyn is a gorgeous name. I love the length of it and the alluring way it rolls smoothly off the tongue. It's sweet for a little girl and undeniably sexy for a woman. I also really appreciate its Hebrew origin and comforting meaning, which is: “He sees”. To me, that means God is always watching over you and surrounding you with His presence and angels. The nickname potentials are pretty cool (and plentiful), as well, such as Jay, Jess, Jessa, Jessie, Lyn, Lenny, etc. Overall, I think the name Jessalyn is beautiful.
Jessalyn Siwa is the mother of Jayden and Joelle Siwa.

Jessalyn... a beautiful combination of the notorious 80's Jessica Lynn. Lynn has been passed down for 5 generations thru my family and it was important to keep it going... Jessalyn was and is perfect! My daughter is 15 years old and she says loves her name Jessalyn Eve (New Year's Eve Baby). Gorgeous, very unique and elegant!
My name is Jessalyn. Like a few people said above, I have never found a person with the same name as me. I think it's quite pretty, and my parents named me it specifically because it was unique.

I think this sounds stupid as a name for a human being.

Uh oh. The super common, super dated Jessica combined with the ever trendy, white trash suffix -lyn. Scary combination.

This name is gross. I can't stand the "Jess" and "alyn" combined together. Sorry.

Melissa Benoist played a character named Jessalyn on an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent before being cast as Marley on Glee. That Jessalyn was a dancer.
My name is Jessica Lynn, and because I have such a common surname as well as a first name for people my age, I have considered changing my name to Jessalyn to achieve some originality. Very nice name!
Interesting name. It does actually look like it can be a variant of Jocelyn, but Jocelyn (and consequently Joss) I've always viewed as a male name. I actually like Jessalyn. Although as far as like-sounding names are concerned, I prefer Jessamine (a variant of Jasmine, and its own plant) to Jessalyn.

This name looks very forced. Plus, I don't like the sound of it.
Lovely name, quite uncommon. Never met a Jessalyn, I have met a Jesselyn though, and I have heard of someone named Jessilyn. Jessalyn is definitely preferable to Jocelyn.
My name is Jessalyn. I think it is a very elegant and uncommon name; I have never met another person named Jessalyn. The worst part about it is that it is constantly mistaken for Jocelyn, a name I can't stand.
