pronounced Jeh-see-kah

(My name is Jesika, and it drives me crazy when people pronounce it "Jeh-SEE-Kah". Mine's "Jeh-sick-kah", like Jessica. Jesika is also a name that can, reportedly, be found in Germany, pronounced "Yeh-sick-kah".

Personal experiences with the name Jesika: | Edit

many people have a hard time pronouncing it Jeh-see-kah

(Jesika is my own name, given to me by my mother, so I've been living with it all my life. I really rather hated it up until a few years ago, when I finally realized that it suited me.
Many people pronounce it in different ways, so no matter which pronunciation you're going for when/if you name your child Jesika, they're going to go through life correcting people.
When I was little, I found it highly irritating that it was impossible to find items with my name on it, like jewelry or vanity plates for bikes, and other things like that.
