“They named her Monica. Why the name⟳ was chosen I have⟳ never learnt; but I do not conceive that there was any reason⟳ for the choice other than the taste⟳ of her parents in the matter⟳ of sounds. It is a pleasing enough name⟳, euphoniously considered, and beyond that — as is so commonly the case — no considerations were taken into account. To her, however, at once imaginative and of a feeble and dependent spirit, the name⟳ was fateful. St. Monica was made the special object of her devotions in her childhood, and reigned so later when she became a wife.”

“Similarly, Alcoa (AA)CEO Klaus Kleinfeld has also dropped plans to attend⟳, but the company will participate⟳, said spokeswoman Monica Orbe.”
