ArchivesJessica and pronunciation.
My question is, if Shakespeare invented the name Jessica to use in The Merchant of Venice, how do we know it's "meaning?" Most searches turn up the meaning "wealthy," but once or twice I've gotten "gift from God." Any ideas on why, or which one is correct?
Also, other question: My screenname is originally spelled Ceara Brigid, with accents on the i's, but supposedly originally pronounced KYAR a BREED, hence my spelling. I'd like to spell it the original way but I'm afraid no one would pronounce it properly. Any suggestions?
