[blparent] Baby names

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

According to babynames.com, which is a great site for browsing names by 
meaning or national or ethnic origin, Jessica is a Hebrew name which means 
"God Beholds."

Alternate spellings: Jessika, Jyssica, Jesyka

Notes: Name invented by Shakespeare for the daughter of a Jewish merchant in 
'The Merchant of Venice'. He probably derived it from Jesca (Yiska), the 
name of a minor Biblical character.

I don't remember running across that particular minor Biblical character, 
but I suppose she's in there somewhere.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist

>> Bran,

>> I like Hannah but spelled Hanna, and I really like Vivian. One of my
>> nephews is Asher and he's a little spit fire, grin! I like Hayden for
>> either a boy or girl. John is not a favorite of mine, and we have too
>> many John's on both sides. Ross and I both have brother's named John,
>> except my brother is J O N; Ross's grandpa is John plus he has several
>> cousins with the name, and I have extended family with the name as well.
>> So no John's for us, smile.
>>
>> I too love names and especially learning of their meanings.
>>
>> We are having a boy and pretty sure of the name, which I did not include
>> on my list; superstition and all, grin. As you can tell, I either like
>> traditional names or really unique names. I also like spelling names
>> differently from the norm. I'm always curious about people's names and
>> their meanings.
>>
>> I focus mor on the meaning of a name, though I certainly have to like
>> the sound of the name itself. Evelyn Grace is just a beautiful sounding
>> name. I'll have to keep that in mind, grin.

>>
>> I like leo and you have some other really cute and meaningful names.
>>
>> I must say that the names Ella and Conner are very very popular right

>> like that.
>>
>> O I love names and love coming up with names, and learning of their

>>
>> I plan to adopt in the next few years, and I often wonder what my
>> child's given name will be and if I'll want to change it, or keep their
>> given name. Some of my favorite names are Hannah, Lynnlee, Adrian,
>> Kyleigh, Hayley, Savanna and Vivian for girls, and for boys Nathan,
>> Jordan Haden, Mathew although so over used, and Asher.
>>
>> I'll be interested in other's names.
