  No, but the first use of Jessica in literature is in a Shakespeare play (the Merchant of Venice). I got my surname from super famous people- my parents!

  I dont think so – my mum just wanted all her kids to have really short names as she had very long ones. I got my surname from my other half and have had it longer than the one I was born with now
