JESSICA
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English
Pronounced: JES-i-ka [key]
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 ×ִסְ×Ö¸× (Yiskah), the name of a minor character in Genesis, which meant "YAHWEH beholds" in Hebrew. Jessica is sometimes used as a feminine form of JESSE.

I'm guessing here but, perhaps your parents liked the name?

Because "it doesn't matter" would sound to cold.
