I believe Jessica was a name made up by Shakespeare for The Merchant of Venice, and means "wealth" or something like that. I possess the name but not the meaning, which is totally not fair. XD

My Chinese name is some really poetic random thing my father made up. I think it means something like "free spirit" except prettier :P But, it's romanised "Yi Xie" (which is not how it's spelled on my birth certificate; I plan to correct the spelling when I have time.) "Yi" is also how you romanise the word for the number one, and "xie" is the romanisation for "shoe." My friends think that is hilarious. -_______-;;

Mine is just Mia, plain and simple. I think it might be the most "international" name ever!

The name Mia is believed to be of Hebrew, Latin and Scandinavian origin. According to Hebrew sources the name Mia was the feminine abbreviation of Michael; the original name is believed to be Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, which means wishing for a child. Mia in Latin and Scandinavian is considered to be a variant of Maria and Mary and also sometimes as the adjective 'my' (mine). The name is also sometimes interpreted as signifying a rebellion.

My first name means exactly as it says, "Jasmine" like the flower. My middle is either be "Of Angels," "Angelic and messenger" or "Female angel above the sky." And my last means "Gift of God."

I also found somewhere that my name has something like holy river in it when transated.

My name is the "pet" name. The long version means supplanter, originally from Hebrew decent. Now commonly used as a french name. It's the french version for James XD

Supplanter
usurper: one who wrongfully or illegally seizes and holds the place of another

My name (of Hindi/Indian/Sanskrit origin) actually has various meanings.

Happy, modest, timid/shy, protection and comfort.

Someone once told me that it also means 'floral wreath'.

I'll go with my traditional Mandarin name, I guess. I'm not sure what my first character (aka last name in English) means.. but the second character means "jade" and the third character means "family." ^__^

ROFL thats funny. I didn't even think the try it on the urban dictionary. Ok here is my new one - Kacie::

The best person to ever walk the face of the Earth. She is the most beautiful, gorgeous, and amazing person everr. She possibly has the most mezmorizing eyes that you could stare into forever. She is the definition of perfect. ---------- She has no competition with Joey.. Alyssa can have Joey. V.S. V.C. V.B. fo shoooo
Everyone wants to be a Kacie

Or


an ugly person with no life. lesbian, but goes out with men to hide it. is afraid to have sex with a man but will do it with any woman.
That person is a kacie, thats why they spend all their time at school.
ew, that kacie is having sex with a women again!
