"Jess is good! But Jessica has to be one of my least favorite names. I hate that name with a passion. Because I was given that name. There are always something like 5 other people with that name wherever you go.
I hate the sound of it. It?s very common. I wish it wasn?t so popular, I wish my parents didn?t name me Jessica" Oct. 31, 2019:

"I am boy and my name is Jess and while it is a good name people make fun of me like calling me Jessie, Jessica and girl names even though I am a boy I tell them it is a boy and girl name and then maybe some kids agree, but it is also good because I found out lots of boys are named Jess in the United States and it means Jesus is real because my family is baptist" Aug. 3, 2017:
"My given birth name is "Jess". I love my name and feel that it is a strong name, however, I absolutely hate being called "Jesse"! That's not my name! Also, too many girls named Jessica are going with a short version and calling themselves "Jess". That seems to take away from the strength of the male name Jess." Apr. 3, 2009:
