Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is a very popular first letter for given names. That’s because 8.3% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. Only the initial letter A is more common for first names.
With five letters, the name Jessy is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters.
