WHY VENISSA?
Why can I ask - Why did my Mother name me with a name that I can NEVER find anywhere on anything? I always look at the cute little things in stores that are personalized like - keychains, necklaces & name plates. But guess what - MY NAME IS NEVER THERE. Whats up with that? Is it so bad that I am the only one in the world that has it? It sure seems that way. Oh well, Im stuck with it -- For all you expecting Mothers out there --- Venissa is not that bad is it? Think about it --- name your cute little girl Venissa and make another Venissa not seem like she is the one and only!! Who knows - If we get enough Venissas in the world maybe one day we will see it on those cute little personalized things in stores!Signed,
The One and Only

I don't get cute little personalized things in stores either. It's the Amanda's, Sarah's, Brittany's, Michael's, and Adam's of this world who get that special treatment.

Hey, it's not our fault. I think it would be nice for once to see something without my name on it!Sarah

It's the old trade-off: originality versus tradition...It's hard to find both in one name. Personally, I'd give up a little orginality for a smidgen of tradition and history.

Agata / Agatha is not too much an "original" name, it's old and not used very much in North America.

Yeah, you're right Agata.....Just because a name is unusual or uncommon, doesn't mean it has no history. Seems to me your name has the best of both worlds!
