Jessamine gmv. Gorgeous.

It's just my weird take, but Jessamy reminds me of Jeremy, making it too masculine. Brains are weird places. Good luck! :0)

I prefer Jessamine to Jessamy.

Both are too fussy, imo. Just go with Jasmine.

I like Jessamine a lot more that Jessamy.

Jessamine sounds/looks like "Jess of Mine." It seems more like an endearment for Jessica than a name.

Kind of like how "Ned" came from the endearment "Mine Ed."

QuarterHorse,

I've only heard Jessamine with a "-min" ending, as with Jasmine and Catherine. Does that help you like Jessamine a little? :0)

(I live in the U.S., but watch a lot of British TV shows so my pronunciation could be affected by that.)

Hi FedaCat,

No, you're completely right! I've never heard the name before, but I also thought it was pronounce "min." It's just kind of where my brain went when I saw it.

Fair enough. Some names do that to me too. :0)

Just to confuse everyone even more...in French, the last syllable of Jessamine is pronounced "meen".
