I love my full name Jennifer Ray, but I go by Jenn and I love that to...I have options Jenn or Jennifer:) Dont call me Jenny though!! :)
When I was younger I hated my name - in my third grade class there were three Jennifers - after a while I stopped looking up if my name was only called once. Wherever I go I usually find more than one Jennifer. My Mom named me Jennifer June, which I always thought was a pretty combination. I also find that I don't mind being called "Jenny" b/c its usually said with affection - my Mom and sister used to call me Jenny Penny and a co-worker used to love calling me "Jenny Jen" - I can't say I ever minded either of these nicknames.
i guess the name jennifer is very popular... everywhere i go there's jennifer, movies, tv's personalities, celebrities... jennifer is everywhere...in fact i named my eldest child jennifer, right now shes succesful in her choosen career. I guess this name comes with goodluck, im lucky to have such a good loving daughter named jennifer...
Who else hates this question? Every time I have ever filled out anything especially over the phone they ask, do you spell Jennifer with one n or two? I have met a lot of Jennifer's and to date only two were spelled with only one n. They should be responsible for themselves to identify themselves, and if nothing is said, there will be an understanding that it is most likely spelled with two n's. Besides that, I like my name, whether it be Jenn, Jenny or Jennifer. One teacher would always ask me "What's a Jenni for?"
i am jennifer or jennie. i think it was popular name and now not which makes it all the rarer
My name is also Jennifer and I'm thinking that if any parent wants to name their son Jennifer, then'they are just setting him on the pathway to homo-sexuality.
I like my name, but i definatly would not call it unique.
HEY WELL MY NAME IS JENNIFER AND I THINK THAT THE NAME JENNIFER IS A GORGEOUS NAME! MOST OF THE GIRLS THAT GO TO MY SCHOOL THINK THAT JENNIFER IS A VERY NICE NAME FOR A GIRL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE IS THE MEANING OF JENIFER. AND WHO EVER DID THIS BAR GRAPH MUST BE TRIPPING BECAUSE JENNIFER IS A GIRL NAME!!!
I can actually see jennifer being a guys name. It reminds me of the name Trevor..
Well, let me be the FIRST one to say. I HAVE NEVER EVER MET ANOTHER JENNIFER IN MY WHOLE JENNIFER LIFE! I get called allot. Jen, Jenni, Jennifer, JenJen, Jenski, but personally I like Jenafwar. Jenafwar is so FRENCH and DRAMATIC. [Jen-ah-fwah is how its said] I think that my name suits me and all the other things that mean me add up too. I am a leo, and even my birthday from the birthday book described me who i really am. Weird but awesome. Later other Jennifers!!! Jenafwar
i love the meaning of my name :) I just wish it wasnt soo popular... Its annoying that everyone has my name LOL
My name is Jennifer Amy which isn't a common first/middle combination. Most of the Jennifers around here are named Jennifer Lynn or Jennifer Jo. But I recently met another Jennifer Amy which was a first for me. I named my daughter Jenevieve and people assume I named her after me. Not true. I've always loved the name Jenevieve and since my husband and I both have the initials of JAS I wanted hers to be the same. If I had spelled her name the common way with a 'G' her initials would have been GAS. Couldn't do that to her! So Jenevieve it is and we call her Eve for short so that there won't be 2 Jens in the house. :)
i recently discovered my name was gennifer, not jennifer! although, i still continue to spell it with a 'j' because im so used to it!
I used an application on Facebook that grades your parents originality according to the name they gave you and they got a F- for naming me Jennifer. 97% of other names are more original than mine :(
I personally like jenipher. its so unique.
My name is Jennifer i don't feel like saying my last name. is it okay to put my last name on here? i am a girl.
My name is Jennifer and I love it! I personally don't know many Jennifers. I am called Jen, Jenny, and sometimes even Jenni4. I hate it when people spell Jen with 2 n's (Jenn) it just bothers me I don't know why! Overall I love the name and its meaning!!!
I too am a Jennifer! Jennifer Lynne to be exact. I like to go by Jen-Jen to my friends!
i just have to say that I too am Jennifer... Jennifer Marie ... I like it its pretty... and well a major LOL at the fact that I too go by "Jenn-Jenn" (the only difference is that I prefer to use 2 N's instead of one...) =P LOL
WOW! I CANT BELi've IT! IM HEART BROKEN......... :'( I THOUGHT I WAS LIKE THE ONLY HAILEE THAT SPELLED IT LIKE THAT!well..................i still like the name
Hi, my name is Jennifer'starr Ball. I am very inter'sted in finding out how popular this name has been since 1999 'till 2019 and what the exact meaning is and what origen it is.
my name is really Jennifer Mary but of course everyone calls me jenn and i hatee jenn but i dont know what else i could be called my dad calls me jennabella cause he wanted to name me belle and i love it i just dont know if i would want to be called that by my friends
I was born in the mid-seventies and my name is Jennifer Anne. I like my name. I've been called Jen, Jenn, Jenny, Jen-Jen, etc. I must admit my husband is the first person to ever call me Fer. It makes me laugh and he's the first person to ever do it. Finally a part of my name that is "unique". :)
I am of course a Jennifer. I prefer to be called Jennifer, not Jen and certainly never Jenny. (Did you know 'Jenny' is a female donkey...). When I was born, Jennifer was not a common name but it certainly was from the mid 70's onward. I like my name, it is a strong independent name for a girl.
I'm a 16 year old boy and being named Jennifer makes me subject to regular ridicule (as my generation views it as a females name). I intend to legally change it within the next two months, in favour of a masculin name.
