I am in the process of choosing my confirmation name, and I am deciding between [name_f]Jessie[/name_f] (the feminine version of [name_m]Jesse[/name_m], the father of [name_m]King[/name_m] David) or [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] (a form of St. [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] according to some Catholic name sites.) I adore the meanings of both [name_m]Jesse[/name_m] and [name_f]Jessica[/name_f]. The issue is that my first and middle names both end in a. For example, [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Serena[/name_f] is close to my legal name, and I wonder if adding [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] would be too much. [name_f]My[/name_f] maiden name is two syllables (H) and my married name is one syllable (also, H). Also, do you have any other suggestions for other forms of Jessie/Jessica? Any suggestions are appreciated.
If you are worried about too many -a ending names then maybe [name_f]Jessie[/name_f] is the way to go!
[name_f][/name_f]Some great advice my priest gave my confirmation class (I’m a fellow Catholic convert) about choosing your confirmation name is that its best to pick a [name_m]Saint[/name_m] that you feel a connection with, or greatly admire. If the name/meaning/Saint has great meaning for you personally, then the flow doesn’t matter (in my opinion).
[name_f][/name_f]Congratulations! 
[name_f]Jessie[/name_f] sounds like a good solution!
Congratulations on your Confirmation!
[name_f][/name_f]According to behindthename.com[name_f][/name_f] (which I consider to be the most trustworthy in terms of meaning), [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] was first coined by [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m], most likely inspired by the biblical name [name_f]Iscah[/name_f], the name of Abraham’s niece. [name_f]Jessie[/name_f], however, is both the feminine form of [name_m]Jesse[/name_m] and[name_f][/name_f] it’s derived from [name_f]Jean[/name_f], so is actually a form of St. [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]! Based on this, I would lean more in favor of [name_f]Jessie[/name_f], since it has both meanings you wanted and flows better with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Serena[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]I’ll be praying for you as you approach your Confirmation! (I am also a Catholic)
I am actually in the process of joining a local Anglican church that has the confirmation name tradition. I have had a difficult time connecting to both the individual saint/Biblical character and the actual name and/or meaning during this process. I am usually called by my middle name, so my new initials (for church purposes) would probably be S?H.
