I like the name Jess, but I'm not a fan of Jessica.

What else could Jess be short for?

I like Jessamine. I suppose you could just use Jessa, although that sounds more like a nickname to me.

Wow, I think I like Jessa! I've never heard it before.

It's one of the Duggar kids names.

I once knew a girl named Jessah, which I always liked a lot more than my name (Jessica).

My friend's middle is Jessenia. I've always thought that was pretty.

Could also be a nn for Jasmine if desired.

Both are so lovely.

I was thinking about the name Jasminda, which someone mentioned above, and if Jess can be for Jasminda, of course it can go with Jasmine as well. The letters aren't a direct translation on paper, but in speech they work fluently.

I hope you do use one of these Jess names, they are just some of the best names out there.

A stretch... but Jacinda? Lovely name with a similar sound.

Or Jacinthe. I don't think it's a stretch.

I was going to suggest Jessamie. I think I like your spelling better though.
