I think Jessica had a name in mind, and the parents honored that by using it. Perhaps you will feel differently when actually matched with a birthmom. Either way, I think you should remain open about your reservations about open adoption, and make it clear you are only willing to go as far as semi open. There are many birthmothers who feel the same.
My daughter's parents changed her name and that didn't bother me at all. But then I am talking closed adoption from 13 years ago. I didn't even meet them until the placement.
Good luck to you! Stay true to yourself and in doing so, you will be true to the birthmother of your future child!
