When I read the name Aisha, I thought at first that I was suddenly reading a different story. In the United States, or at least in my part, girls named Aisha are usually African American, and they are usually not Muslim.

Well I guess the name Aisya now is very international then.In muslim culture, we took the name after Aisya, the alleged young bride of prophet Mohammad(PBUH) and to my knowledge the name is arabic.

p/s: my sister's name is Aisya and my niece in the pic is also named Aisya :D

By the way (as you spell the name(s?) differently)

Aisha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aisha

Aisya http://www.namespedia.com/index.php/Aisya

(Aisya is a bit similar to Russian [’Asya] that could be a diminutive from various names or a full name in itself)

Jamie (K) and NinaZara, for me the most important is that jenifer will read this story and stop thinking about committing suicide.

Now, hold on a minute! Why are you all acting as if Jennifer really existed? Aren't there enough shows of this kind on TV as it is? This sort of emotional blackmail isn’t less immoral or dangerous than some of the other manipulative acts of aggression that occur on the net and elsewhere.

I only hope that this surrealistic thread might help real people who really suffer from depression.

I quite agree with you, Conchita! Being a sceptic( doubting Thomas) by nature I always take these sorts of posts with a grain of salt.

I, on the other hand, think Jennifer is very real.

The important thing is the message behind the story.I would still be touched even from a Jewish or Buddhist version of it.


...though it would lose its flavor in the Atheistic version, and a polytheistic version would be confusing/ambiguous (which god?).
