I'm sort of named after my great-grandpa Izzy, since Isaac and Jessica both come from the same Hebrew sound (sort of - Shakespeare made up the name Jessica because he thought it sounded Jewish), but really Jessica has always been my mom's favorite name, partially because of Jesse James. When she was a kid, she got a kitten and named it Jessica, but my grandfather didn't want it, so he gave it to a fish store to keep the mice away, and she was like "Dammit, Dad, I'll name my kid that instead!" and then she did. The end!

Did Shakespeare really? That's hilarious. It's a good made-up name! :) And hee, your mom. What a great story!
