"We named you Jessica so that you'd have the same initials as your dad. Also, it sounds cool."
When I reach the end of life, I'd like to

The quote you put at the top of the page, is that real?
Okay, to elaborate, and give more credit where credit's due, my parents were more deliberate in choosing my two other names meaningfully.
The one that my relatives call me is 文晶, which is Mom's surname (文) + crystal (晶).
The one that nobody calls me but goes in the genealogy books is 则灵, which comes from the verse, "山不在高，有仙则名； 水不在深，有龙则灵" (Rough translation: The mountain doesn't have to be tall; as long as it houses immortals, it'll be famous. The lake doesn't have to be deep; as long as it houses a dragon, it'll be spirited). I like the meaning; basically, don't judge worth based on outer appearance, but based on character. I got the "be spirited" part, while my brother got the "be famous" part.
