Do you like your name?

At first, my name wasn't going to be Jessica. My mother had actually chosen Nayara, and since I wasn't registered on the same day I was born, she called me that for a week. My father then decided, without consulting her, to change it, after a character in a soap opera who became very famous here and a song, called Jessica, released around the same time. Incidentally, because of this, many girls that year were named Jessica. Back my days as a student, I was never the only one in the classroom, there were usually two others or at least one more. And I studied at 5 different schools until I was a teenager. When my dad came back from the registry office, my mom said she got really mad at him and they didn't speak to each other for several days. I sometimes joke that I've had an identity problem since I was in her womb. The times she did the ultrasound, I was somehow in a way that wasn't possible to identify my gender and the doctor assured I was a boy. Well, I'm not a boy, neither Nayara. I like my name. "Jessica", spelled like this, first appeared in William Shakespeare's play “The Merchant of Venice” (1596). When I was a child, I read in a book that perhaps he was inspired by the Hebrew name "Yishay", which means "full of riches/wealthy", "the Lord exists" or "God's gift", and is the feminine form of Jesse; but the most accepted theory is that it's based on an another Hebrew name: "Iscah", which means "contemplate/behold". I find the fact that it has 7 letters very interesting, the same number of days in the week, colors in the rainbow, musical notes, wonders of the world, seas, etc. And as a Christian, I feel very honored that the first 3 letters are the same as the name Jesus.
