Anyways then you and your entire family and social group die in the same event, like a volcano burying your village.
Comment on Blessica Blimpson
webadict@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoEh, the kid could have worse, and it seems pretty fitting for the name’s origins.
If you think of children as blessings, and want to change an existing name a little – in this case, Jessica – it makes sense. The first recorded instance of Jessica is from Shakespeare, who could’ve changed the biblical Iesca (Jeska) to Jessica by mixing Jesse into it (or making Jesse into a woman’s name… or other potential origins like the word jess being turned into a name.) And you consider Bless to be a name (though rather unpopular), so it wouldn’t even be particularly odd for the name.

The kid could’ve been named “Anna” which also means blessing. She wanted to call her blessica because she was blessed to have her. Which yeah - just go with Anna

Are you arguing that variants of names meaning blessing shouldn’t exist, or are you just against a new name? Because every name was new at one point, and lots of new names are variants of older ones.

“Blessica” is a stupid name and naming someone that for those reasons is wrong. The husband is right. You don’t give kids quirky names, especially with a shitty surname already.

How is it a stupid name? Are rarer names stupid? It’s just a name, if a very uncommon one, and it’s not even particularly hard to spell or pronounce, nor is it without thought. Combination names can sometimes produce odd results, so this one feels fairly mild.
