Personal experiences with the name Jessamine: | Edit: My name is close to Jessamine. It's Jessemy. I love it! A few things to consider: Jessamy seems to be the most universal spelling of this family of names, so if you want to simplify her life, you might want to choose that spelling. It converts well to Jessi or Jess. She will endure "Sesame-Jessemy" jokes for sure, and on a more flirtatious note, she may enjoy some "Besame-Jessemy" jokes, as in the song Besame Mucho. I recommend it!
