I personally love my name, and like being a Jessie rather than Jessica, but I have always had to tell people how to spell it - they'll always go for Jesse or even Jessy first. Often people will just assume and call me Jessica thinking they are doing the right thing by using my full name. Usually now I hardly bother correcting people!
