Essicajay Enchay

Top 4 facts (that I found interesting) about my name (from http://www.isthisyour.name/) And don't ask me how I got to this website lol:

1. 36% of the letters are vowels. Of one million first and last names we looked at, 47.7% have a higher vowel make-up. This means you are averagely envoweled.

2. In ASCII binary it is... 01001010 01100101 01110011 01110011 01101001 01100011 01100001 00100000 01000011 01101000 01100101 01101110

3. Origins:
Forename:
Origin: Hebrew
Meaning: God's Grace

Surname:
Origin: Chinese origins - from name of the region of Chen in present-day Henan province. Gui Man, a descendant of the emperor Shun (2257?2205 B.C.), was selected by Wu Wang, the first king of the Zhou dynasty in 1122 B.C., to guard the memory of the ancient emperors to help Wu Wang remain in power. Gui Man was granted the region of Chen and was posthumously named Chen Hugong, and his descendants came to adopt the surname Chen.

4. According to the US Census Bureau, 0.49% of US residents have the first name 'Jessica' and 0.0436% have the surname 'Chen'. The US has around 300 million residents, so we guesstimate there are 641 Americans who go by the name 'Jessica Chen'.

Interesting huh? :). It was nice to have the meaning of "Jessica" confirmed to me and also nice to find out where "Chen" came from as well. Oh and I guess the full name "Jessica Chen" isn't THAT popular. Although, I used to be related to a Jessica Chen :P. Oh and it's nice to know that I'm "averagely envoweled" LOL.
