Thoughts on the name Jessica? Over used or Classic?

[meow]

Jessica seems to be popular every generation so I'd say it's pretty timeless. I personally couldn't use it as I know too many Jessica's my own age. There are not a lot of names this happens with- names seem to usually skip a few generations and a lot names being used now are the names of my grandparents generation. I thought Jessica was pretty popular at the moment, but storm is probably right that that was more so a few years ago. As everyone has said- if you love it go for it!

Thanks for all the replies. It's nice to hear some other perspectives. DH really loves the name and I like it but am also offering him some other suggestions, but it is definietly on the top 3 girl list for us. I feel alot more confident with girl names that what I do boys.

I agree. It is very popular & has been for a long time but the really beautiful classic names are like that. I loved it when I was little but have since been turned off because of associations with certain people. I hate it when that happens - so many wonderful names get crossed off the list.
