I put in Tommy:

Name: Tommy
Gender: Male (duh!)
Origin: English
Meaning: a surname of Thomas

*puts in Thomas* That is my real name BTW...

Name: Thomas
Gender: Male (duh!)
Origin: Hebrew
Meaning: twin

I've heard that since it derives from the Hebrew language, the meaning "twin" could be referring to Christ himself...maning anyone named Thomas is the twin of Christ, meaning he inherited all the good qualities of Jesus...which somehow doesn't make since because Thomas thje apostle was the one that doubted that Jesus was even resurrected*goes off into a long theological lecture*

JESSICA f English

This name was first used in this form by Shakespeare in his play 'The Merchant of Venice', where it belongs to the daughter of Shylock. Shakespeare probably based it on the biblical name Iscah meaning "YAHWEH beholds" in Hebrew, a minor character in Genesis. Jessica is sometimes used as a feminine form of JESSE.

Another famous bearer was the American athlete Jesse Owens.

From the Hebrew name Ribqah, possibly meaning "a snare" in Hebrew, or perhaps derived from an Aramaic name. This was the name of the wife of Isaac and the mother of Esau and Jacob in the Old Testament.
