"Jennifer remains a Classic Beautiful name even in 2021, my 3 Favorite Jennifer's are Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Lawrence & Jennifer Love Hewitt , and Fun Fact, Jennifer Love Hewitt was called J.Lo as a nickname years before Jennifer Lopez used that nickname for herself !!!" Feb. 26, 2021:

"My name is not Jennifer but i want it to be i find it a cute name and no one in my school is name jennifer i want to be tho" Nov. 28, 2014:

"My name is Jennifer and I am from England where the name is not common. I have never met another Jennifer in my life and I am 24 years old! The fact that my name is not common is why I love it and I love my nicknames Jen and Jenny <3" Sep. 24, 2013:

"My sister's name is Jennifer, and she was born in the mid 1980s and despises her name. her middle name is Michelle, and she doesn't like that, either. I think both names are great, but they are overly used. She goes by Jennifer, but our mom calls her Jenny (only Mom gets away with that, no one else does). She hated having a name so many other girls her age had; they all hated it. She tried to go by Jenna, but no one would call her that, and Jen just doesn't suit her as a shortened form or nickname." Dec. 28, 2011:

"I too was named after Jennifer Jones. She was an actress my mom liked. I love my name and the fact that I have been able to switch it up with Jen or Jenny. As a little girl I went by Jenny, as a teenager and an adult I thought Jen or Jennifer fit better.I find it adoreable when the hubby says "I love my Jen-nay" I now have very young grandsons that call me Grandma Jenny and it's my favorite!!" Oct. 31, 2011:

"MY NAME IS JENNIFER TOO AND I DONT LIKE IT ITS NOT UNIQE" Aug. 6, 2011:

"I used to hate my name as there were always about 5 other Jennifers/Jennis in my year,(I was born in 82) but now I'm older I quite like it. Much better than all the fanciful ridiculous names that came along in the 90s (Britney, Aleisha etc)" Jul. 1, 2011:

"My name is Jennifer, and I often go by Jen. People often spell Jen with the extra n, but I think its useless, so I shortened it to just Jen. I love my name, and I only know a couple of people with that name. No one ever pronounces it wrong or asks how to spell it. Its an amazing name, if I do say so myself. Haha" Mar. 19, 2011:

"It's my girlfriend's name and I think it is absolutely beautiful." Feb. 24, 2011:

"My name's Jennifer but I live in the UK. It's definitely not as common over here! When I was about 10 I started being called Jenni. I hate it now, but I can't drop it. At work I get called Jenn-Jenn and family call me Jenn. I like it, but I wish more people called me Jennifer - it's sophisticated, sexy and elegant!" Jan. 10, 2011:

"I used to dislike my name quite a bit. It sounded plain to me and just overly boring. My mom wanted to name me Holly and my dad said Jennifer just fit me better- quite a difference in choices, huh? Now I wouldn't change my name if you paid me! I hate the nickname "Jenny" but don't mind "Jen" "Nini" or "Jena" (what friends have nicknamed me throughout the years.) I've embraced the name and now I couldn't even imagine having a different one =)" Nov. 7, 2010:

"Jennifer is an awesome name! I hated it when I was young, and, thankfully, my mother decided when I was a baby to call me by my middle name-Dawn- I still go by Dawn, but I do realize that Jennifer is a beautiful name-and everywhere I went traveling... Planes,trains,autos,internationally, hospitals,etc, it was always someone saying "Jennifer Easterling", anyway, so it didn't really bother me anyhoo...". There you have it." Oct. 28, 2010:

"My name is Jennifer as well. when i was in 1st grade i liked to be called Jenni thats how i liked to spell it. in the 3rd grade i changed it again to jenna because i thought it sounded better at the time. then in the 8th grade i wanted to be called jenn with 2 N's because it was different. now i like to be called jenny because i think its cute :)" Oct. 19, 2010:

"My name is Jennifer; Yet, growing up many people would mess up and call me Jessica.I attributed this mistake to the fact that I do not look like a Jennifer. Not long ago, I received a spiritual name from a friend (through a ceremony)because I thought it would be more fitting for me. Well I did some research and it turns out that Jennifer and my new name functions on the same energy level...9 (numerology).The meanings are very similar as well. So Im ok with Jennifer." Oct. 17, 2010:

"my name is jennifer i hated it but now love my name." Jun. 26, 2010:

"it is the best name in the WORLD but im not so crazy about jen or jenny" May. 26, 2010:

"hi my name is jennifer i was born in 1992 and i love my name because its me i think if i had to change my name i wouldnt because i like my name" May. 4, 2010:

"I am SUCH a double N'ed Jenn gurl! People ALWAYS call me Jen, it drives me crazy! I got a hoodie with JennJenn written on the back, and people still call me JENJEN!! Honeslty! LOL! how obvious can I be?" Feb. 18, 2010:

"I had a sister with the name Jennifer and I loved it. I still do. Its a wonderful name" Feb. 9, 2010:

"I always liked my name (agree that it's "Jen" and not "Jenn") but I had to raise an eyebrow when my mom told she named me after Loni Anderson's character on WKRP. LMAO." Feb. 4, 2010:

"I'm one of the millions of Jennifer's born in the mid-70's. My parents didn't name me because it was popular though. I'm actually named for the actress Jennifer Jones (movies in the 40's and 50's) because my grandmother used to call my mom "Jennifer Jones" when she got dramatic about something. :o) I was one of three Jennifer's in my elementary classes but we didn't mind sharing our name. Our middle names were all different and mine is Lee-Anne. It's kind of funny though, we have a daughter, born in 2006, who we named Emma. Turns out, her name is now one of those popular names. *sigh* Sorry, honey! lol At least she has a unique middle name - Ceilidh (pronounced Kaylee, but spelled the Gaelic way). At least she can be distinguished with that. Big cheer for Jennifer's!!" Jan. 8, 2010:

"My real name is Jennifer but because my older brother couldn't pronounce it when I was born he started to call me Jenna. Even though everyone calls me Jenna whenever I'm signing something or writting my name I go by Jennifer. It depends on the setting and i really do like to be called Jennifer. Since Jenna has become so popular as a name a lot of people are shocked when they find out that Jenna isn't my real name. Sometimes I'm called Jen, it doesn't bother me but the one name i can't stand is Jenny(i), however you spell it. I won't respond to that name at all. I'm not really sure why I have a problem with that name but to me when someone calls me it it's like nails on a chalk board." Nov. 24, 2009:

"Beautiful name for a beautiful redhead, fair- skinned girl of Nordic/Celtic type." Nov. 9, 2009:

"I like that I was named "Jennifer" but I'm not usually called "Jennifer" - it's normally "Jen" or "Jenny". "Jennifer" is definitely the correct spelling. I pronounce it "JennifUH" (being Australian) but since I've lived in the USA for two years, I'm now used to "JennifeRRR". The one thing I do not like is "Jen" being spelt with two n's. I've only seen that since being in the USA and it is incorrect to me. You don't spell "pen" with two n's or "hen" or "men" so why would you spell "Jen" like that. It seems silly and a little pretentious!" Nov. 2, 2009:

"As a kid I was always called Jeni (yes that is how it is spelled, my mother taught me to spell it that way because Jenny was way to common, but I spell Jennifer regularly). I still go by Jeni at home because it just sounds weird when the fam calls me something different. My sisters call me Jenn sometimes. In grade school I had to go by Jennifer because there was already a Jenny in the class. But in 8th grade I changed it back to Jeni and that stayed until I got to college and the profs don't care what you go by, they're just looking at the registration papers. So, I guess I go by all three, for appointments and such I go by Jennifer, my co-workers and friends call me Jenn because it's the shortest, and family and childhood friends call me Jeni. I don't mind any of them anymore and I will always turn when somebody says one of them, which in most cases they aren't even talking to me. :)" Oct. 7, 2009:

"Jennifer is a common name, yes indeed, but what i love about it is that it doesn't affect my individuality because people with this same name, may like being called differently. Its is peaceful, as am I, and also beautiful. My parents named me after a princess and wanted to give me a name that could be said in English and spanish as well. This way, I wouldnt be discriminated for any reason for not having an American name. I dislike finding out that someone has my name in the same class, so many close friends call me jenny. I tried jenn but it was still too serious for me. Jennifer Nicole is a no-no. Jennifer is only used by adults and people i barely talk to. Jenny is only for 'special people' (: i love my name." Sep. 10, 2009:

"My name is Jennifer, and I prefer to be called Jen because Jennifer sounds way too formal. I don't really like being called Jenny either but I don't mind." Jul. 22, 2009:

"My name is Jennifer and i love the name the spelling of it looks nice and when you say it it sounds nice. I like being called Jenn but never jenny it sound boyish" Jun. 25, 2009:

"I'm an "old" Jennifer, born in 1960. There weren't *any* other Jennifer's around when I was little, and as a teenager, I used to babysit them. Never found anybody less than 10 years younger with my name--looking at the graph, now I know why! My parents didn't allow anyone to shorten it when I was young, so as an adult, while I think the name Jenny is beautiful, it's just not *my* name. Sometimes I'm Jen, but usually Jennifer." Jun. 17, 2009:

"I love my name NOW. But as others, I was born in 1977, and knew like 55 million other Jennifers growing up. I used to hate the name for this reason. I now like it. People typically shorten it to Jen even if I don't ask them too. I sometimes wish people would call me by my full name Jennifer. I too, refuse to be called Jenny, and finally put my foot down in middle/high school and made people call me Jen. I still "hate" my parents for calling me Jenny and my grandmother still does." Jun. 3, 2009:

"I'm a Jennifer... and I have been one of many Jennifers all through school, and now at work, but I don't mind. Anyone who KNOWS me calls me Jen. Jenny is ok for a little girl, but after 6-7 years, I'd had enough." May. 30, 2009:

"I love my name, people call me Jen usually but I hate when people call me Jenny. It's really not common where I live in the UK and I don't know anyone else with the name :)" May. 11, 2009:

"My name is Jennifer. And I love my name. I think that the name suits me. It is feminine, sexy and yet appropriate for a smart career woman. Most of my family and friends call me Jenn and that works too. I like the double n for some reason. So, Mom and Dad, thanks for naming me Jennifer." May. 8, 2009:

"this was my sisters name she was so beautiful. rip jenjen!!" Mar. 30, 2009:

"My name is jennifer, I never liked to be called Jennifer but most everyone calls me Jen or Jenny which I don't mind. =]" Mar. 24, 2009:

"I was born in 1980 & I go by Jen. I do like the name Jennifer, but I'd rather go by Jen. It's more informal. I can't stand when people spell my name 'Jenn'. Too many N's! But, I was born on Christmas day, so I always asked my parents why they didn't name me something Christmassy like Holly or Noel. The older I get though, the more I like my name. As a child, there were ALWAYS at least 2 Jennifers in my classes at school!" Mar. 7, 2009:

"this is real creepy but i am exactly (and i mean freaky-ly) exactly the same "My name is Jennifer but I'm not sure I really like it. It's better than the name Amanda that my mom wanted to name me but my dad wouldn't let her. I only go by Jenn. I despise being called Jenny or other ways it's spelled. Jenny, in my opinion, is too girlie and I am a major tomboy. The meaning of Jennifer is white wave and it sounds peaceful. I am so not peaceful or calm. In elementary school I was the only Jenn in each grade with the exception of a Jenny. Once she went to another school in middle school I was happy. I was the only Jenn or Jennifer in our grade. I'm in 11th grade now and I am still one of the two Jennifer's in our entire school for grades 6 - 12. The other one is a 7th or 8th grader and she goes by Jenny. I only know her because she's the sister of someone I talk to. I thought Jennifer was supposed to be popular. In my opinion, Jenn suits me better because it sounds a little like John" makes me kinda feel like my individuality has been taken though. at least i still have my middle name Anastazja. thats still unique." Feb. 4, 2009:

"I am an 'old Jennifer' in comparison as I was given this uncommon name in long before the '70s boom. Growing up, I was called Jenn which is the 'proper' spelling...divide Jennifer in half and that's what you get! I remember not really liking my name because most kids prefer to be like their peers, and my friends were Karen, Kathy, Diane, etc. Finally in high school, I started to appreciate Jennifer especially when it became the number one girls name. Then I DIDN'T like it for being the number one name...too many Jennifers! I purposely named my kids uncommon names for the same reason...couldn't stand the thought of another Ashley or Kaitlyn or Jessica. I'm usually Jennifer for business...Jenn to close friends and of course family...I absolutely never answered to Jenny!" Dec. 31, 2008:

"I'm Jennifer too... I love my name. No one was allowed to shorten it when I was younger and my Dad was around. Although my Aunty got away with making up crazy nicknames for the whole family mine was Jennifer Jaffacake. My ex and sister call me Jennymacrenny. And some male friends call me Jenny Penny. No one calls me Jen or Jenna. I prefer Jennifer so thats good." Dec. 16, 2008:

"I was born in '79 and my parents actually chose my name to go with my middle name. My middle name is Joellen (one grandmother was Josephine and the other was Ellen) so they chose Jennifer to go with it. It used to bother me how many Jennifers there are..but now I find the humor in it. Why? Because my two best friends are named Jennifer. We all go by Jenn (and frequently have to distinguish to others which Jenn we are talking about by refering to each other by our last names). Buy we refer to ourselves as "The Jenns" or "Jenn Cubed". It has become amusing for us :)" Dec. 7, 2008:

"My wife's name is Jennifer and I really find the name sexy! :-)" Dec. 5, 2008:

"I was once told that children grow into their names. That has certainly been the case for our daughter, Jennifer, who was born in 1987. Although we originally chose the girls name, Ellisa, we changed our minds after hearing the 1960�s song, �Jennifer Juniper.� The title of the song reminded us of how sweet the Jennifers we knew were. Then when we read that one of the meanings for the name Jennifer is �Gift from God� and the change was made. (We had NO idea it was the 3rd most popular name in our city that year.) Although her name was frustrating for her when she entered school because she was called Jennifer S. by her teachers in order to distinguish her from the other Jennifers in her class, each of the girls eventually settled on their own moniker and the initials were dropped. After entering High School, her friends started calling her Jen-Flow or just Flow. They nicknamed her that because she was a peace-maker and generally �went with the flow.� At 21, she now goes by Jennifer with family and Jen or Flow with friends. She fits every variation of her name and truly is a �gift from God� to those who love her." Nov. 10, 2008:

"As with so many others my name is Jennifer but I've always gone by Jenn. I was born in 1985 and there has alwasy been at least one other Jenn in every class I've attended. I've also never had a job where I was the only one so I've been known for years at Jenn Z. But you know what, it's not that bad of a name. Hey, at least you always have something in common with one person in the room:-) To be quite honest every Jennifer I've known has stood out from the rest. It's not the name that makes you a big deal, it's the person. So rock on Jennifers, you are some of the best people I know:-)" Nov. 3, 2008:

"My name is Jennifer and I absolutly love the name. My family calls me Jenny, My boyfriend call me jen and My boyfriends family and my friends call me Jenny or Jen. What ever way I get the name I don't care. I'm in grade 12 and throughout all the years of being in school I have never had another Jenny in my class." Oct. 21, 2008:

"I was born in 1983 and my name is Jennifer (go figure). I have always loved my name. My mom never let anyone call me by anything else (except my sister who called me Jenny Boo. She was 1 1/2 when I was born and it just stuck). I think the name is beautiful and just think, it could have been worse. We could have been Gertrude or Bertha. Hello Ethel, how does that sound?" Oct. 11, 2008:

"I was born in 1985. I went to a super small elementry school so I didn't meet another Jennifer until I was in middle school. There were three of us then and it was like this really cool thing that linked us. It was like we just had to like eachother because we had the same name. Now that Im in college it isn't really cool anymore. But I like my name and meeting other people who have it dosen't make me like it any less. My name is special, it has so much legend behind it's meaning and there are actually a lot of other names in europe wich have the same meaning, like Ginevra is an italian name that means the same thing as Jennifer and the shortened version is Ginny, like in Harry Potter. And as a side comment, I think that saying Jennifer instead of Jen adds a lot more character. That why I don't mind people calling me Jen but I always call myself Jennifer." Sep. 23, 2008:

"i think jennifer is a buitiful name cuz i like it and its mine so i think jennifer is a great name and if u dont like it u can always change it when u get married but i love my name JENNIFER" Aug. 27, 2008:

"My name is Jennifer. My husband calls me Jen-Jen, his siblings call me Jenny (because that's one of their wife's name), and my father-in-law calls me Jenay(as in Forest Gump). As a kid I shortened it to Jennie in 3rd grade then I went back to Jennifer but in 8th grade I changed it to Jenn~E and even had it on my plates (as in a car)" Jul. 30, 2008:

"Clearly, my name is also Jennifer. Born in 1988, there were always at least 2 Jennifer's in my classes and I still get called Jenny from the block all the time-- it doesn't help that I'm Latina! However, even before I knew the meaning of this name, I found out why my parents chose to name me as such and have appreciated it ever since. Before I was born, my father donated blood to earn a couple of bucks. A few months later he received a letter from a little girl's family thanking him for his donation and informing him that their daughter had nonetheless passed away. Her name was Jennifer. And so my name became Jennifer. And I am Jenni/Jeni/Jenny (as pronounced in Spanish) to my family, Jc and/or Jen (with one n!) to friends but essentially Jennifer :)" Jul. 20, 2008:

"My name is Jennifer, and I absolutely love the name. I usually go by Jen to friends, and Jenna to my family. My sister-in-law is also a Jenn with 2 N's, and we love the tradition, and the family likes it also, as they can't forget our names. :) I like the popular names, people don't miss pernounce them. I'm naming my daughter Jessica." Jun. 10, 2008:

"My name is Jennifer.its a really cool name but a lot of people have that name.So my friends call me Jen-Jen,Jenny,Jenn-ay but over all i am so happy that I have that name" May. 24, 2008:

"i never really liked my name because its so easy to come up with nicknames with. people would call me jenny from the block and i never liked that..but overall i like it when people call me jenn i always introduce myself as jenn with 2 n's so that if they ever need to write my name down i dont need to correct them. but i like it now because it suits me well" May. 11, 2008:

"My Name is Jennifer was born in 1973 which was very common then.I was named after the movie The Love Story.Most people call me Jen or Jenny but i have always like the name Jennifer and would rather be called that.." May. 10, 2008:

"My name's Jennifer and I absolutely love it! It's origin is welsh and it means "fair one". haha. =P It does get kind of frustrating when someone yells out, "Jen!" and I'm not the person their speaking to. =\ My nickname is Jenny but certain people call me "Jennay" (Jen-aay) like in Forest Gump so I can stick out from all the other Jennifer's. =] It's a popular name but that just means it's a great one! =D" May. 6, 2008:

"we names our second daughter jennifer in 1980 completely unaware of its popularity. There were none in her school but several in her year at uni. she's jennifer at work, jenny to sister and brother and jen to her husband and suits them all. a lovely strong name for a lovely strong girl!" Apr. 26, 2008:

"My name is Jennifer and to be honest, I've never really cared about my name. I love the meaning (even though it's a little boring), because it makes me sound graceful (which I'm not). I don't really like being called Jennifer because it sounds a little posh, so most people call me Jen, Jenny, or even Jeffie. It's a brilliant name. Celebrate it!" Apr. 14, 2008:

"Im a Jennifer Lynn, go by Jenn, and oddly enough I have yet to meet a Jenn I don't like. I admit its Insanely common, but its got a good rep, everyone has a friend Jenn, or Jen, or Jenny, Jennie, Jeni, or Jennifer... or as I once saw.. Jenipher. If society was more matriarchal I would name my daughter Jennifer , just like a John could name his son John Jr. It hasnt got much novelty value, and sometimes I do wish I had a really interesting or exotic name... but it works." May. 18, 2007:

I wasn't bothered that it was popular, I never had another Jen in my class through primary, secondary or Uni. It's a pretty name thats not too weird & is traditional enough which I like.

"My name is Jennifer Wong, I like the name despite being common. I often hear the name being called (even when it's not for me) but that's okay. The cool thing about this name is that you can find merchandise like keyrings etc with the name on it =D I go by "Jenni" a lot of the times instead of Jenny, and I prefer "Jen" over "Jenn" way of spelling." Dec. 17, 2006:

"My name is Jennifer Lynne and I love my name. I love it because it was the name I was given and that is what my parents found fitting. I know it's a common name but that's alright. There are very few people out there with REAL unique names anymore. I am not a fan of the made up names anyway! I can be called Jen, Jenny, or Jennifer - it doesn't really bother me what people call me. I think everyone should realize - it's not the name that make you - it's you that makes your name."

"My name is Jenifer Lynn. I prefer being called Jenifer and used to argue in high school that there was a definite difference in the pronounciation of Jenifer and Jennifer. I like my name because it only has one (n) although it is a pain sometimes... my own family members couldn't find my name in my bridal registry because they never really paid attention to how it was spelled. :-( My dad just always told me he never saw a reason for 2 n's when there was only a need for one. Very practical man. :-)" Oct. 31, 2006:

"I love Jennifer best. I was a Jen in high school, and in college I was half-half Jennifer/Jen. Now, I prefer Jennifer. However, those who've called me Jen in the past can call me Jen, and I like it.

"Another Jennifer Lynn here...born in '72! Growing up, no one was allowed to call me anything but Jennifer or they would have my dad to answer to. Jenny was absolutely out of the question (still is, except for a precious few who have permission to use it). Nowadays, I go by Jenn. Drives me nuts when people just ignore how I prefer to spell it and put 1 'n'. In high school, I played volleyball with 4 other Jenns...meaning 5 out of 6 of us on the court at one time could be Jenn. My best friend's name... is Jennifer Lynn :)" Jul. 2, 2006:

"I am also a Jennifer Lynn born in the 70's. My step-sister (who was in the same grade as me in school) is also named Jennifer Lynn. She went by Jen and I went by Fer. We told our parents they should have another daughter, name her Jennifer Lynn too and then we could call her Nif." Jul. 1, 2006:

"My name is Jennifer... I am 14 and I met 2 people my age with that name. I love my name. When i was younger i went my jenn with two N's and my teacher always got mad saying 'you only need one N' now its either jenny or jennifer. My family calls me both too." Jul. 10, 2005:

"My name is Jennifer and I think it's great. Growing up, in school, there was always another Jennifer in my class, so I always got stuck with being called Jennifer Brown! I hated that because then everyone made fun of my last name. For a while, I answered to "Down Town Brown". MISERABLE!!! But once I got out of school, it was fine. It was a very popular name in the 70's, and I was born in 72. I never let anybody call me Jenny, because I hated it. I still do. I think the name Jennifer is pretty, but maybe it was a little overused back then." Jun. 30, 2005:

"I love the name Jennifer. I dont know why but i love all the nicknames that come with it." Jun. 29, 2005:

"My name is Jennifer. i don't really like the name, so i usually go by Jenn-with two ends- mind you. O jus tlike the way 2 n's look. Anything is better than just bland ol` "Jennifer"" Jun. 23, 2005:

"Im called Jennifer and i freally like being called it. I dont mind being called Jenny or Jen" Jun. 23, 2005:

"people call me jensers....its a beautiful name and i love it" Jun. 19, 2005:

"My name is Jennifer..I prefer being called Jennifer but Jenn is okay...with 2 n's. There are 2 n's in Jennifer, which is why I prefer it with 2 rather than 1. It drives me nuts to see Jenn spelled with 1 n." May. 31, 2005:

"I dislike my name because of the fact that i"ll enter a new classroom every year and there's about 2 or 4 Jennifer's in my class." Sep. 14, 2015:

"I am 39.. my mother named me Jenny instead of Jennifer. I would rather go by Jennifer but its not my leagal name. I hate when others call me Jen or Jen-ay. It really upsets me. I would like to be call the name I was given at birth." Jul. 31, 2011:

"Maybe it's just coincidence, but ever Jennifer I met has been moody, temperamental, and a little off. I don't mind the sound of the name, but it has forever been ruined because of association. And I've met quite a few Ambers too." Aug. 5, 2010:

"I'm a Jennifer and I go by Jenny, but I still HATE my name. I hate it so much that I'll probably end up changing it legally. It's boring, it's overused, and it sounds like a preppy blonde from the 80s, which I am -not-. As a result of my unfortunate name, I am determined to give my children beautiful, UNIQUE names." Jul. 6, 2010:

"I was born in 1976 with this name. I hated it so much I started demanding that I be called by my middle name at age 3! I think being called Jenny had something to do with it, but I didn't like the sound of the full name either. After that, the only use my first name had was as something for the other kids to annoy me with. So it was with great relief that I officially ditched it for good upon getting married." Feb. 6, 2010:

"I personally can't stand the the name Jennifer.Unfortunately it is a name so commonly given to girls.Luckily it has decreased in popularity to a point.It is sad that people have no originality when it comes to naming their children.I also can"t stand the names :Amanda ,Samantha,Jessica,Tammy,Linda,and don"t even get me started on the name Debbie.There are so few really attractive girl's names ,that haven't been used to death.Referring to comment left on March 30,2009,who in their right mind would name a boy Jennifer?!You might as well beat your son up now ,because he will be in school!GOD!what a terrible thing to do to a kid." Oct. 20, 2009:

"I was born in 1974 and was named Jennifer Ann by my father who is American. My mother is British and instead of having a cool British names like my cousins I have the most popluar American name. My sister's are Tammie Sue and Kelly Joe. I also hate Jenny and only go by Jenn or Jennifer. I have 3 daughters and even though my husband wouldn't let me go crazy I tried to name them something nice but no commen. Mayson Ashlee is 12, Bailey Elisabeth is 10, and Delaney Camryn is 2." Jun. 21, 2009:

"As one of the many, many Jennifers in the world, I am sick of my name. I use Jenn with friends and family. At work I am one of 8 Jennifers in 200+ people, so I actually use my last name as my name there. I have several Jennifer friends and all my friends have at least one other Jennifer in their life. It is incredibly annoying to be out in public and hear, "Jennifer!" and see three other people turn around. I really feel for the Kaitlyns, Madisons, Austins and Aydens as they get older." Apr. 18, 2009:

"I was born in 1974 and my name is Jennifer, along with half of my friends in school. My dad remarried to a woman who had a daughter named Jennifer. She was older than me and they called me Jenny, which I detested. I began calling myself Jenna(which I thought I made up) through college. I now go by Jen." Jan. 29, 2009:

"my name is Jennifer I HATE IT. I go by Jenn I was born in 82 and all through there was atleast 5 Jennifers in every class. i wish i could change it ssoooo bad" Nov. 29, 2008:

"I'm a Jennifer, I have never really liked the name. I've been called Jenni, which I really don't like because that's what I was called when I was a little girl and I'm now 32. I have been called Fer, I prefer Jenn. I honestly wonder if Jennifer is the most popular name of the last century. You can't go anywhere without running into a Jennifer. My bosses name is Jennifer and another Jennifer used to work at my job too (this was a small office of about 15 employees at the time) . I have a cousin Jennifer who is 6 months younger than me. There were always several other Jennifers in school with me and in my classes. I thought about changing my name to something else, not because it's so popular, but because I just don't like the name, but figured I'll just stick it out. Maybe it will eventually grow on me :). I'm sure there are worse things to worry about, and worse names my mom could have chosen. I'm sad, though, to see so many Jennifers in this world are so angry or frustrated over a name :(" Nov. 11, 2008:

"My name is JENNY. NOT Jennifer. This makes me hate all Jennifers who go by the name Jenny. Yes Jennifer is a very popular and common name, but everyone just uses the nickname Jenny! So in reality, WAY too many people have the name 'Jenny' and it's just an annoyance when lots of people have a very common name. You then have to be know as Jenny __lastname__." Aug. 19, 2008:

"I hate my name. Hate it. Everyone is Jennifer. And my mom said it was either that or Jessica. No imagination. I'm changing it soon..." Aug. 6, 2008:

"I like Jenn but i think Jennifer is very ugly and is so popular" Jul. 26, 2008:

"Most popular name of 1983! My mother has a very uncommon name and dislikes it, so she gave me a popular name and I dislike it..." May. 2, 2008:

"My name is Jennifer, I was born in 1983 and I have always hated my name because it is so popular in my age group and I was always "Jennifer F." and never felt like I was important as the other kids as I was always "one of the Jennifers" at school!" Feb. 21, 2008:

"I'm tired of having the same name as a gazillion other people. In high school and college, if someone yelled out "Jenn, Jennie, or Jennifer," a bunch of us would look. I don't need an incredibly different name...just one that I don't have to share with those other gazillion other people :-0" Jan. 19, 2008:

"My names Jennifer and I am absolutely not happy about it. I think it just doesn't match my personality and all. I always felt like an Alexandra shortened to Alex or something.. I've never felt like a Jennifer.. Ever." Jan. 19, 2008:

"i hate the name jennifer it is the name of the most wretched of names that a parent who dispises their off spring to posess. i am being hugged by a jennifer now....feels good. ;) ok never mind i like the name jennifer now. she feels real good. she smells real good. she laughs with wetness real good. she has a cat who is real good...wait no not real good she looks at my penis at the night when i sleep. her cat wants to sleep with me. what do you think i should do...please advise me." Aug. 11, 2007:

"ugh....12% of my high school graduating class is named Jennifer. In the small company I work for there are 3 Jennifer's in the office. Too many wrong numbers in the office and much too confusing when walking together down the hall. And my dad thought he was picking a unique name in the 70's! I want to change my name but I don't want to hurt my parents feelings either." Aug. 6, 2007:

"I cannot stand this name. Even though my best friend's name was that when I was 5-13. I cannot stand this name because my boyfriend's friend's name is Jenny and she is an inconsiderate person that deserves what she does to come back at her 10x harder when her boyfriend has a girl stay at his place." Apr. 17, 2007:

"I hate having this name! Nobody can spell it and I spell it the traditional way. It's so common and boring. I always end up in a class with like 2 or 3 other Jennifers and they always confuse us. Plus it has a lot of letters. I was born in the 80s when this name was very popular. I can't wait to legally change my name to a shorter and easily spelled name." Apr. 4, 2007:

"I really hate this name. It's so common and it just so happens this really snotty girl at my school is called Jenny, which makes me think that Jenny is the name for all snotty, stuck up girls." Feb. 18, 2007:

"I do not know any Jennifers that have ever been nice to anyone... most Jennifers are very self absorbed!... and it is a ugly name" Feb. 2, 2007:

"My name is Jennifer and I was born in 1970. I have always hated my name, especially because there were always at least 3-5 more Jennifer's in everything I did. As a mother now of three, I have gone on the quest to give my children less common names, so they won't have to go through what I did." Jan. 9, 2007:

"I was named Jennifer in 1970 and I hated being one of 4 or so Jennifers in every class. As it stands, I don't respond when I hear my name in public, because I hear it so much. My father named me Jennifer because he thought it was unique. Ha!" Jan. 4, 2007:

"I am a Jennifer, and I loathe my name. As a child, I would insist that I was going to change it when I grew up, and my parents would just wave me off. When I filed a legal name change petition in court this past spring, however, they were outraged. How outraged? They threatened to disown me on my birthday. No kidding. To preserve peace in the family, I backed down and cancelled the proceedings the day before the final hearing. But sometimes I think it was the wrong decision. I have people call me Jenny (I reason that it's slightly less tacky and trendy than Jennifer, since it has been around longer, most notably as a nickname for Jane), but that doesn't help much. I hate my name so much that I don't even like to say it out loud. Introductions are embarrassing. Please, let it die." Nov. 7, 2006:

"The largest peak of Jennifer Names was in the 1970's. My grandmother's name (born in the 1920's) was Jenny. We are going to name our daughter (to be born 03/2007) Jennifer Elaine. I think it is pretty and we will call her Jenny." Nov. 6, 2006:

"My name is Jennifer. Some peolpe call me Jen or Jenni, but I hate it." Nov. 4, 2006:

"I hate the my name Jennifer. My ex-husband's sister was also a Jennifer Lynn. So when I got married we both had the same first middle and last names. Years later I became engaged to another man. EXACT same thing. Sister named Jennifer Lynn and she was born in the same year 1976. Hate this name, go by Jenna or JennaLynn." Oct. 27, 2006:

"I can't recall many school classes where I was the only Jennifer. My Dad gave me the nickname Nifer which I loved and is still used by all my school friends even though that was 15 years ago!" Oct. 17, 2006:

"Boring, overused and overrated and not even pleasant sounding." Sep. 7, 2006:

"My name is Jennifer Ann. How boring is that?! I just recently had a daughter and I wanted to name her something unique - unlike Jennifer which is soooo boring and common.(I named her Kirstin) When I was in high school I really wanted to change my name to Juliet. I still might. I go by Jennifer or Jen. Only my family calls me Jenny. HATE IT!!" Aug. 27, 2006:

"I despise my legal name. It's so prepy sounding, it makes me crazy! It's certainly not the name that suits me, but I haven't found a better one. There's almost always another Jennifer floating around, and I rarely have ANYTHING in common with her, although I've gotten along with a few of them. The name's ridiculously long and everyone seems to spell it differently. I've also had employers INSIST on calling me Jen, which is the only name I dislike more." Aug. 22, 2006:

"This is my name. It is really just a word at this point - it's not even a name anymore. Couldn't my mother have thought of something just a little more original??" Jul. 31, 2006:

"I'm Jennifer, and I've always thought that my name just sounds, oh I don't know, un-original. It is way too common. Even though it is a common name, I'm only friends with 1, went to school with 2, but I have met a dozen or so others. And I go to public school! Mum's of the future, name your child something more or unique than Jennifer, like Waverley, Siobhan, Gabrielle, or Destiny. Those are way pretty. Or a, get this, JAPANESE name! No one ever thinks about that, but If you brouse a few sites, you find that the names are beautiful, and they have good meanings. Ex: Sakura=Cherry Blossom" Jul. 30, 2006:

"eh. well my name is jennifer lynne. I'm 15 and I know one other person named jennifer. my friends ALWAYS spell out and call me by jennifer and never just call me jen or jena or anything other than jennifer uh. don't name your kid jennifer, because its so long you might as well name the superclifraglisticxbaladoutious!"

"im not called jennifer im jennie, i hate it when people call me jennifer" Mar. 13, 2006:

"Ughhhhhh Jennifer! why... For Short it is Jenn(with 2 Ns it looks better!)... I think what's worse is My name is Jennifer Lea... It is too popular... and you know what it means? "White wave" what does that mean? gr.. HATe" Jan. 29, 2006:

"My name is Jenniffer Lynne. Notice the spelling? Messed up, Isn't it? I was born in 1963 when it was not the most popular name in America. My name is never spelled correctly by anyone except my parents. Once I had a job that I had to wear a name tag and a guest told me that they spelled my name wrong, that it had to many f's and I told her that I should probably cross one of them out HUH? Yeah right!" Jan. 20, 2006:

"I have always hated the name jennifer. Way too overused." Dec. 15, 2005:

"I think that the name Jennifer is overused and very ugly sounding. The name Jennifer reminds me of a heavy girl who likes to eat McDonalds." Nov. 26, 2005:

"I don't like the name Jennifer because it is so common and plain but the bright side is that you can think up of a cute nickname like Jen or Jenny and I have a cousin name Jennifer whom everyone calls J.J." Aug. 6, 2005:

"Has run its course, at least for my generation. I'm 34 and have at least six friends named Jennifer. My high school was overrun with Jennifers and Melissas." Jul. 24, 2005:

"My given name is Jennifer Lynn. I hate that it's so common. Some of my friends gave me the nickname Eyphur (eye -fur) but now that I am starting at a new school I'm think of changing to being called Jenny, although I fear the Forrest Gump references." Jul. 22, 2005:

"My given name is Jennifer but I go by Jenny. I wish that the name itself was not used so often. Growing up there was so many Jennifer's I tried to go by any nickname possible to distinguish myself. Hopefully this trend will soon come to an end and parents today will think of something more unique." Jun. 15, 2005:

"When I was a kid, I was very much fascinated with the name Jennifer. For me it sounded so beautiful; I imagine Jennifer to be a very beautiful girl/woman with sweet and nice personality. However, as I grew up, I lost that fascination. Besides, there are so many Jennifers out there; it makes one just one among a crowd. But I still like the name though not much anymore."

"I'm Jennifer Madeline. Born in 1972. Yep one of the 63,000 girls in the US named Jennifer that year. I went to elementary school with about 4 or 5 other Jennifers and in Highschool there were a ton more. I didn't mind as a kid but over the years I have grown to dislike it because of this and because it's not unique. I have two very good friends named Jennifer. I was named for my great grandmother Genevieve and my grandmother Madeline. My family calls me Jen, acquaintances call me Jennifer, and boys who were silly called me any number of names like Jenny, Jenny Cream Ale, J, Jay. An old friends parents always called me Jennie Ben. No clue why!" Jan. 8, 2015:

"My NAME IS JENNIFER AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I USED TO BE CALLED JENNY AS A YOUNGSTER BUT PREFER TO BE CALLED JENNIFER NOW. MY GREAT GRAND DAUGHTER HAS JENNIER AS HER MIDDLE NAME, AND I,M SO PROUD TO SHARE MY NAME WITH HER." Apr. 6, 2013:

"In the end it would be up to the lender as to if they would make you pay it. A lot would endepd on the amount as well as the type of debt. If it was for something like a medical bill they may not, but if it is for a credit card debt they may require you to pay it off. Their biggest fear from them is if you get sued would you then have to default on the mortgage, basically making you a higher risk.However, your credit score is based on your credit report. So if you have negative items on your report that will be reflected in your score. How much endepds on several factors. But it would be out of the ordinary to have a high credit score(depending on what you consider high) if you have collection accounts." Apr. 15, 2012:

"My daughter is Jennifer Idumea. Idumea is my grandmothers name. I think Jennifer is a beautiful name. I call her Jenny. She thinks that there are too many Jennifers!!!" Oct. 10, 2011:

"There are upwards of 60,000 women with the name Jennifer, so no, not exactly a unique name... Everybody tried to call me Jenny when I was growing up, and when J-Lo came out with "Jenny from the block" it only got worse. I would go by JayLynn (Jennifer Lynn), Jenniphred(one of my faves), or Jennifer...my favorite nickname from a friend is Jen-O :-)" Oct. 6, 2011:

"I'm Jennifer and I'm 23. Growing up there were several other Jennifers in my class, even a two other Jennifer S.'s. It was quite annoying. But I do like it for the most part. No one ever spells it wrong or mispronounces it." Sep. 19, 2011:

"I'm a Jennifer. Never been called Jenny because my mum seems to think it translates to female mule somehow. I've always been the only Jennifer in my school growing up and have friends and family that have come up with some weird nicknames. Like Genie and Feffa Deffa occasionally I get a Jen from my teachers though." Jul. 13, 2011:

"My maiden name was Jennifer Jones, how more common can you get??? I was named after my fathers favorite actress last minute because they thought I was going to be a boy; which would have been Fred Jones...Thank God he knew what he was doing! Jennifer over Fred any day...LOL" Mar. 24, 2011:

"I was born in 1948 when the only Jennifer of fame was the actress, Jennifer Jones (now deceased). Anyway, everyone called me Jan as a child (Jennifer Ann = Jenn Ann = Jan). In high school teachers presumed I'd like to be called Jennie, which was okay. I now prefer the full name Jennifer or shortened to Jen is fine. It's rather lyrical . . . I think I like it." Jan. 14, 2011:

"i like my name very much. i consider this name is very precious and god himself gaveme this name.usually people pronounce it with some drag.but my english mam called me as jenfer.i like it very much" Dec. 27, 2010:

"In school, I disliked my name; at one point i wanted it to be Tracy. XD There were so many Jennifers in my class (and i had switched schools in high school, too!) that i wouldn't turn in the hallway when i heard it; chances were, they weren't calling out to me. I've always gone by Jen, although I've gotten nicknames like Jennah, Jenny Penny, JP, and Jenn-AY. I introduce myself as Jennifer, though. But I must say, I could always find my name on stickers, toothbrushes, notebooks, whatever, and I never had to worry about people misspelling or mispronouncing it. :D And it's definitely better than some of the weird names parents are coming up with these days so they can give their child a "unique" name. I think rather than making something up, people should choose some of the more old-school names that have nearly died out, like Hazel or Jane. And changing the spelling of things? That's just going to make people misspell your kid's name. :P" Nov. 12, 2010:

"Hi, I'm in middle school and I HATE my name, Jennifer. I have gone by many nicknames: Jenna, Jenny, Jenn-ay!, Jen, JJ, JenJen, and Dawn. (Yes I tried to change my name to Dawn, for about a month, but I ended up hating it when I heard parents laughing about me). I agree with everyone else and will be quoting them when I say, "Jennifer is too formal and girly." It is pretty, If I want to feel like a dafodile from the Phillipeans, but I don't. I do wish I had a more unique name like Skyler, or Hope. Overall, I will not change my name legally because it will hurt my parents' feelings, but I probably will go by my middle name (Ashley) when I am grown up." Oct. 22, 2010:

"My first name is Jennifer Ashley for middle name... I mean COME ON two most common names in the world put together?? I've never been called Jennifer hardly except for my teachers in school sometimes. I've always gone by "Jenny" since the day I was born my family has always called me that. Jennifer is just formal. Personally I think the name is really pretty I just dislike how overused it is. I'm already considering unique names for my future children. :)" Sep. 26, 2010:

"I'm a Jennifer too. I'm seventeen years old and I still haven't fully come into terms with it. I can't stand it when people call me Jennifer, it's too formal. I prefer to be called Jen. What really bothers me is when people spell it with two 'n's instead of one. I can't tell you all the different nick-names people give me. My favorite one is Jen-ay. I think the name is too common and isn't unique. But that's just me." Sep. 23, 2010:

"I like my name Jennifer. I have also gone by Jen, Jenn and Jenny through the years, born in '71. I often feel that Jennifer is too formal, while Jenny is a bit juvenile and Jen is for the familiar. I have a twin brother named Jonathan so we were always Jonny and Jenny, like a little "set" that went together." Aug. 9, 2010:

"I love the name Jenny and feel each of you are fortunate to have it...beautiful!" Jul. 29, 2010:

"I was born in 1989 and have lived my whole life in the south eastern US (Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, & Alabama). The name Jennifer is common but I can not think of a time I had more than 1 other Jennifer is my class. I think Ashley, Nicole, Jessica, Allie, and Rachel are more common than Jennifer. In high school there was one other Jennifer but she was in the grade below me. In college the only other Jennifer I know is on my cheer team. I have always thought the name sounded more mature and stuffy than I am. As I am getting older I appreciate it though because it is very versitile. It sounds professional (not like kylie or maggie) but can be shortened to Jen for informality. I go by Jen a lot, never spell it Jenn... that irritates me. And my family calls me Jenny Ann but I hate it, it sounds very young and like a pet name. all in all, Jennifer is far from the worst name I have heard and it is very versitile. It grows on you :)" Jul. 27, 2010:

"Any time a name is popular it is a mistake to use it. I was born in 1953, for a few weeks in 1965 there were 8 girls in my class, 4 of us named Jennifer. Talk about loss of individuality. We all took one alternate spelling or another. I became Jennie and no matter how hard I try to get people to call me something else, I always end up back as Jennie. I'd rather have been a Thelma or Gwen or Marigold or Lydia, anything but Jennifer. Sorry, Mom, I know you loved the name." Jul. 3, 2010:

"Let's see, Jennifer Lyn, 1979. I don't hate it, but I have never felt that it was pretty or particularly me in a special way. No Jenny, ever. Although it would be with a y. I don't get "Jennie" any more than "Jenn". I like Jen with one n the most, but Jennifer is fine. After school with a million Jennifers in every class I now have the honor of being one of a million Jennifers in every parent group or office party. Thanks mom." May. 2, 2010:

"My name is Jennifer but most just call me Jen. I enjoy the name just because of how many nicknames can be pulled from it to make more unique ones. However, like I see many of you have already said, the one name I don't like being called is Jenny. I have no idea why, haha." Dec. 2, 2009:

"well my name is jennifer,all my friends used to call me jen, i dont like jenny because it's too girly.But i dont care if you'll going to call me jen,jenny,jeng,jennifer as long as u spell it correctly.. double N not F.. (: correct me if i'm wrong, jennifer means white wave..not sure about it.." Oct. 5, 2009:

"I love my name because its sooo unique even thoughh its soo popular rock on all the other jenns.:0 :) :0 ;) :0 :) :0 :)" Sep. 11, 2009:

"I grew up hating my name because it was way too common. As a 37 year old, I prefer to go by Jenny (I see that's not commone amongst my namesakes!!) I believe that "Jen" sounds like a sorority girl - and too young. Jennifer is okay, but since no one ever called me that, I don't identify with it very well. So "Jenny" it is. Like some of you, I too, named my children less common names - I have a Nina and a Portia - just different enough without being weird." Aug. 20, 2009:

"My family called me Jenny. The nickname went with my older sibling's nicknames, Timmy and Debby. That's who we were. THEN I went to Kindergarten and came home informing everyone my name was Jennifer not Jenny. SO, they all switched except one sweet lady who knew me since I was born. She was special so I didn't mind when SHE called me Jenny. Then in High School there were so many Jennifers my BF nicknamed me Jenny P. I loved it!! No one else had the nickname. It stuck through college. Jennifer is derived from Guinevere, so my sister's nickname for me is Gwenny-Poo. Totally goofy now that I'm 43, but very endearing. I sit on a board with another Jennifer, when I sign off my emails to the board I use Jen E. I like the play on words. I always introduce myself as Jennifer, but I feel that the closer I get to people, the shorter my name becomes. My TRUE friends call me Jen. (With one N, thank you very much.)" Aug. 19, 2009:

"my names Jennifer Renee. When i was younger, i used to always go by Jen. but now that im more grown up, i go by Jenn... with two N's. I can't stand when people spell it Jen anymore. I only know two other Jennifers, but neither of them are my age, and they don't go to my school... so it's a less common name where i live." Jul. 8, 2009:

"Well, my name is Jennifer and i really dont like it. It seems kinda boyish to mee. But i hate it when people call me Jenny,it pisses me off because its like a lil' kid name. Its ok to call me Jenn." May. 1, 2009:

"ive never really liked my name Jennifer because its really common where i live, ive even got a first cousin with the same name! in high school one insensitive teacher asked, 'so how many jennifers are here in this class', luckily i was the only one. i thought of legally changing it in my teens, im now 27 and ive grown to accept it, especially when i came across the fact that Jennifer means, amongst others, 'white wave', nice eh? i like being called Jen. anyways to maybe make up the whole common name thing id be giving my yet to be born daughter a really unique and pretty name:)" Apr. 13, 2009:

"I'm 15 and have very rarley met any other jennifers, by reading these comments i think it must have gone down in popularity! I love my name because there are so many versions and ways to re-create it throughout your life, it can change as you do:)" Apr. 6, 2009:

"its a really nice name to give a girl not too much has a boy name so don`t name your son a jennifer many nickname for a jennifer as in jenjen ,jenny ...ect...." Mar. 30, 2009:

"I was born in 1990 and I've always disliked my name Jennifer. I've always hated the fact that dad stopped my mum from naming me Katherine (Kate!). There has been another Jennifer that's been following me everywhere I go, through primary school, secondary school and college and she is completely bizzare. I'm off to university in September and seriously thought about changing my name to Kate but I never thought about calling myself Jenna, which is close enough to Jenny that I won't feel like a fraud." Mar. 24, 2009:

"I have a love/hate relationship with my name, Jennifer. I was born in 1980. I, too, had a gazillion other Jennifers in my classes growing up. I feel like an original person, so it's always been a little disappointing to have such a common name, although I do think it is beautiful. I am thinking of shortening it to Jenna. I've gone by Jennie and Jenny as a kid and have more recently only used Jennifer, but I really do prefer a rarer name, and Jenna seems close enough but yet still a different name." Feb. 3, 2009:

"i was born in 1995 and i have gone by the Name Jenn for as long as i can remember. I can't stand it when someone calls me Jennifer. i feel the name Jennifer is so stuck up and seriouse, im not saying that everyone with that name is like that but i have known another Jennifer for as long as i have been alive and thats whats shes like so when ever i hear that name i think of her. who knows what i would think of my name if i never met her. but sometimes i wish i had another name something not so seriouse and common. i once had 4 or 5 other Jennifer's in my class and the teacher would call us all by Jennifer but she would never say our last names so she would get mad when we would all answer her." Jan. 22, 2009:

"I was born in 1988 in Baltimore City. There were tons of Jennifer's that I've encountered throughout school, but I personally have never fit into the name. I started going by my middle name, Marie, in high school because I needed a change and the name suits me better than Jennifer ever has." Jan. 5, 2009:

"My Name is Jennifer. Everyone calls me Jen. I have been going by "Jen" since 3rd Grade. I was born in 1995. I'mm not a big fan of "Jennifer" some of my closest friends call me that because They think it's "PRETTY" (hint the quotations" lol anyways ya. I like Jen way better... my personal style!" Dec. 15, 2008:

"Yeah, my name's Jennifer. I looked it up a long time ago and it said it meant Lamb of God or something like that. I have at least 5 friends with my name. I'm okay with my name, but I like going by Jenn. The thing that amuses me most is how people spell it. One of my best friends always spells it Jeniffer, and I've seen it spelled Genipher before too :)" Dec. 3, 2008:

"my names jennifer but i go by jenni. im ok with it but its too common. the main reason i like it is only because my niece calls me jen-jen and she's tw0" Nov. 13, 2008:

"I was born in 1963!!! I never heard of let alone met another Jennifer until the "boom" of the name in the "80's". I agree with some of the other comments and I must say it maddens me, that so many people lack original thoughts. When my mother named me she went out of her way to give me a unique name, which it was for nearly 2 decades. I up until the " 90's" I used to LOVE my name but then when all of you started to grow up and join the work force I thought what the heck is going on here?. Alas, now you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Jennifer. I too would like to change my name however I am afraid noone would cooporate. In my circle we are all old ladies and ya can't teach a old dog new tricks ..oh well" Nov. 3, 2008:

"My name is Jennifer but I'm not sure I really like it. It's better than the name Amanda that my mom wanted to name me but my dad wouldn't let her. I only go by Jenn. I despise being called Jenny or other ways it's spelled. Jenny, in my opinion, is too girlie and I am a major tomboy. The meaning of Jennifer is white wave and it sounds peaceful. I am so not peaceful or calm. In elementary school I was the only Jenn in each grade with the exception of a Jenny. Once she went to another school in middle school I was happy. I was the only Jenn or Jennifer in our grade. I'm in 11th grade now and I am still one of the two Jennifer's in our entire school for grades 6 - 12. The other one is a 7th or 8th grader and she goes by Jenny. I only know her because she's the sister of someone I talk to. I thought Jennifer was supposed to be popular. In my opinion, Jenn suits me better because it sounds a little like John." Oct. 19, 2008:

"my name is jenny curran like in forrest gump. I was born in the same year as the movie too. haha" Aug. 21, 2008:

"Wooow, my name is Jennifer. I go by Jenn though:) I was born in 1995, I guess Jennifer was like super famous then...? I don't know. I hate when peole call me Jenny. I like the name Jenna but too many people call me Jenn so it's not like I can change it to Jenna now. Only boring people call me Jennifer, funny huh? :)" Jul. 23, 2008:

"My parents named me Jennifer in 1983 completly unaware that it would turn out to be the most popular name of the year. Everyone calls me Fer (jenniFER)which i LOVE" Jul. 21, 2008:

"I am a Jennifer who was born in 1983. I can relate to Jennifer F. in always having to use the inital of my last name in school. And it bothers me to no end when a stranger calls me Jen. If I make a reservation or appointment under the name Jennifer they will undoubtly address me as Jen. If I wanted to be called Jen that is what I would have said my name was. Don't be lazy and shorten my name. Address me as I present myself." Jul. 10, 2008:

"It's not the most unique name in the world, seeing how in one of my gym classes there was three Jennifer's and a Jenna... and I just happened to be one of those Jenn's! I personally find that the name "Jennifer" is far too long. So one way that I attempt to differentiate from the other Jen's is that I spell my name with two "n"s. I usually have to correct people but for some reason it fits me better. and hey, my mom said she was either going to name me "Jennifer" or "Jessica" so there was no way I was escaping JENeric names. haha" Jul. 6, 2008:

"My name is Jennifer, but I am usually called Jenn. I was born in 1973, which it seems then most common use. I have always hated my name, because it is so common. But it is who I am, and get told all the time it fits me..So I guess I'm stuck with it...." May. 7, 2008:

"My name is very special to me. so far as i am not the only person called Jennifer i love my name. does Jennifer mean Love? if not tell me the meaning." Apr. 19, 2008:

"For years I thought the name Jennifer was too dated and overused and generic. THEN I met the most amazing woman named Jennifer, (I'm a male, BTW) and since then I view the name in a more positive light! :) It's a variation of an old Welsh name Guinevere. Be proud of whatever name you have! There is always a fascinating history behind every name." Mar. 30, 2008:

"My name is Jennifer and I always wished that my mom had named me something different. Not that I don't like my name.. I think Jen suits me but I hated being called Jenny as a kid. It was too cutesy for me. I think this name is far too popular and that it should take a well deserved break for a few decades!" Mar. 28, 2008:

"I would hate having it, too many people with it, I know like 20" Mar. 9, 2008:

"My Name is Jennifer. I love my name so much! I am always happy about my name, I've never wanted to be named anything else." Jan. 12, 2008:

"My name is Jennifer, but everyone calls me Jenny. I think Jenny just sounds better than "Jennifer". Jennifer to me sounds a bit too girly, so one day I changed it to Jenny. Some people also call me Jen or Jenna." Dec. 27, 2007:

"well my name is Jennifer and i had a friend and her name was Jennifer and we would be in teh same classes so when the teacher would call on us we would both say the answer outloud it was funny. but then she had to start say like Jennifer& Jenn most people spell my name wrong! but i moved to a new school and there is noone with the name of Jennifer its very nice to not have someone with the same name as you! but everyone normallly calls me just Jenn or someother name like J-fer,Jen or Jenn,Jenny which i dont like, or some nick name they have made-up for me! but its all good its nice. but for the most part i kind of like the name Jennifer cuz most guys say that a girl with that name has to be hott and well i kind of am!" Dec. 8, 2007:

"ihave met about ten people or more that share the name jennifer with me. it get's very annoying at times." Dec. 5, 2007:

"When I was in Grade school, there were no other "Jennifer's" in my class. At that time, I wished my name was "Debbie", or "Kathy" or Vicki. I didn't like having such a unique name. Then, when I was in high school, I liked being different. As my life went on, Jennifer became a much more popular name. So much so, that whenever I was somewhere and someone was calling, "Jennifer!", I would turn around, only to discover that someone was calling their child! I do love my name, but I don't like how common it has become, seeing as how unique it was for me, as a child born in 1954! I believe my mom liked it because of Jennifer Jones, the actress, and my great-grandmother on my father's side was named Jenny. I have never been called "Jenny", but have always gone by Jennifer, or to my closest neighborhood friends as simply, "Jen". I also have a sister, Cynthia who has never gone by "Cindy", seeing as how we had a neighbor who had a dog by that name!! Once, when we both went to a spa together, an employee asked if we were, Cindy and Jenny? We said, "No, it's Cynthia and Jennifer", to which she replied in a stunned, somewhat sarcastic, "Oooh!" From Jennifer J. Draper in Minnesota" Dec. 3, 2007:

"My name is Jennifer and is spelt that way I really like it because no one else in the school of 700 students have it !Not many other people have the same name !" Nov. 26, 2007:

"I don't really like my name Jennifer (pronounced JEN-if-er), every other person I meet seems to have this name and it's so 1970's. I would've liked it better if my parents came up with a more unique name." Nov. 25, 2007:

"My name is Jenifer spelled with one N. Everybody seems to write it with two N's and they think it's so weird the way I spell my name. I like it because it sets me apart from other Jennifer's." Nov. 17, 2007:

"My twins name is Jennifer, but she always calls herself Jennie! haha and we are twins, and my name is Jessica, so I think it sounds nice together! :)" Nov. 12, 2007:

"Beging born in the 70's, I always hated that there were several girls in my class every year with the name Jennifer. Always a fight has to who had to be called Jenny. In 4th grade my teacher called me JS. It taught me to stay out of the top 10 when naming my own girls." Sep. 4, 2007:

"No one says it wrong and I'm glad they dont. I have 2 friends named Jennifer and I am also a Jennifer. It's kinda cool!^O^" Aug. 15, 2007:

"My name is jennifer... and wow does it rock. it is a cool yet classy name. it can be shortened to Jenny or Jen. That makes it even better because the name Jen rocks too.

"In all actuality, I hate being named Jennifer. Its much, much too common. At one point in time in my school, there were 6 Jennifers! ARGH!! However, I do like the meaning of the name:)" Jul. 23, 2007:

"Im sick of people calling me janet after i say my name is jen. i speak clearly and dont have an accent. i did not say jan. i said jen...and IF i had said jan, it would be because i wanted to be called jan and NOT janet. it drives me nuts" Jul. 20, 2007:

"I have hung out with two other Jennifer's. A threesome! LoL" Jul. 15, 2007:

"My name is also Jennifer. I was one of two Jennifer's at school, but it was really annoying because the other Jennifer would spell her name with two F's, so everyone assumed thats how i would spell it as well. I'm not really sure how much i like the name, but a few of my friends love it. Some of them now call me Jenjen, which sounds rather childish, but i quite like it now. My sister also made up the name Jenbob for me, simply because Bob is such a great name, and she usually calls me Jen, so why not put them together? haha." May. 15, 2007:

"my name is jennifer by mistake, my parents were too nervous to name me something original when it came to my birth in 1983. I have never liked any other jennifers, still don't. I don't feel like it will ever suit my personality, no matter how I spell it or abbreviate i!" May. 14, 2007:

"My name is Jennifer Lynn. I don't mind my name, some of the nicknames are horrid like : jennibell, or jenny lynnie. I don't like Jenny it sounds really young but I would say Jenn is my favorite. I Know a few people with this name or variations of it. But in all its a fairly good name." Apr. 26, 2007:

"Jennifer is my name and I love it. It is common but never too bad in school or the work place. I actually know very few Jennifers. I liked to be called Jenny as a child but it sounds childish as an adult. For a nickname I like Jen." Apr. 20, 2007:

"I like my name other than it being so common its a good name it's very easy for my friends to remember and most people can prononce it easly." Apr. 12, 2007:

"My name is Jennifer- and since the popularity has gone down, there is pretty much only 1 other Jennifer at my school. But just in case, I like people to call me Jen (and how I intoduce myself as well). Jenny/Jenni is a horable name!" Apr. 5, 2007:

"my names jennifer, and in my school its actually very uncommon." Apr. 3, 2007:

"Well yeah my name's Jennifer and unlike the majority in here, I don't like it. It's way too common for one thing and not at all unique but that's my opinion since I like to stand out. I'm called by a nickname mostly but whenever someone calls me by Jennifer, I hardly respond to it at all. Maybe, possibly, like some people in here, I'll like it better when I'm older but for now, it's not exactly on my favourites list." Mar. 26, 2007:

"my name is jennifer grace mabel. i HATE being called jennie or jen. I love jennifer. im not too keen on mabel, but i think grace is very pretty. most of my friends call me juggamaba (its the sounds of my initials jgmb) which is sometimes annoying. anyway jennifer is a lovely name and i think jenny is common and people should stick to their real name." Mar. 5, 2007:

"Just like December 21, 2006's comment, I too never thought about my name either, until now. I'm technically a Jennifer too, although I have NEVER been called Jennifer. I've ALWAYS been known as Jenny. It's a shame, because it is quite pretty. I guess 32 years later, it doesn't matter anymore. I wonder when Jennifer will become a popular name again. It's bound to re-surface sooner or later. They always do. Just look at some of the names parents give their kids today - I bet a fair number out there have Grandmothers with those names, so it'll be a matter of time when we get our glory, I'm sure." Mar. 2, 2007:

"my math teacher always calls me jenny and i hate being called jenny but she still calls me it when i've told her a million times i do not want to be called jenny. also my friend calls me penny but i let her because i call her halber." Feb. 27, 2007:

"My name is Jennifer Nicole - two of the most common names in the book! There weren't that many girls named Jennifer at my high school. However, I work at a restaurant, (putting myself through college) and at one point, there were four Jennifers working there. That was confusing. Most of my friends call me Jen or J Ring (Ring is my last name - at least that's not common!)" Feb. 21, 2007:

"this has got to be one of the ugliest names in the book!" Feb. 12, 2007:

"I used to hate being named Jennifer, as every time the name was called there would be two or three of us in school turning to respond. Now that I'm an adult, I like the name. Though I wish my mom had gone with her first instinct on spelling it Genipher instead of Jennifer..." Feb. 2, 2007:

"My name is o.k but we live in a small town and up till now there are about four other Jennifer's. My dad wanted to call me Jeannie after his grandmother but my mom didn't want another Jeannie in that side of the family(my cousin is jeannie) so the next best thing was Jennifer I suppose :)" Jan. 26, 2007:

"My name's Jennifer and I'm 15. It's not as common with girls my age and I've only met one other Jennifer my age. I go by Jen (one N!) and don't really like being called by the full name. I absolutely can't stand Jenny. It seems ditzy and goodie-goodie to me. I like the name but sometimes I wish my name were just Jen and not actually Jennifer." Jan. 19, 2007:

"I love my name Jennifer but it isnt to popular in Hawaii were i live." Jan. 16, 2007:

"I was born in October 1969. I love my name, but I don't like the shortened versions. It is common, however, which I wish were not the case. In law school, I was in a section of 80 students, half of which were female. Of those 40, 8 of us were named "Jennifer." lol" Jan. 9, 2007:

"My name is Jennifer and love my name because I think it is pretty, the meaning is OK i guess. My mother named me after Jennifer Hart on the show hart to hart, my sister is named stephanie on account of the actesses real name." Jan. 9, 2007:

"hey my names jennifer, im 16 from the UK, I hate my name sometimes cause it sounds poncy and has no nicknames. I get called Jenni, Jen, Jenjen, jenwa,or jenniwa. theyre from my best mates so i dont mind:)" Jan. 7, 2007:

"I wish I were named something else, like Hannah, but it's ok." Dec. 29, 2006:

"I rarely think about my name until I read it over and over again as on this site. I used to hate it as a child but now it seems to look feminine and fine. I hated Jenny even more. The family of my childhood friend called me Jenny and I tolerated it because I knew they cared about me but overall it made me picture an unattractive bumpkin running through a wheat field like a Little House on the Prarie spoof. I suppose I would prefer a more sophisticated name but I would never change it because my Grandfather loved it. I was born in 1971 so at this point my name is the least of my worries." Dec. 21, 2006:

"My name is jennifer, but i go by jenni. i get very irritated when people spell it jenny. jennifer has an i not a y! DUHH! and im SOO OOVERRR the "i love you jenn ayy" forest gump stuff. good movie, but wow does it get old!" Dec. 20, 2006:

"My name is Jennifer Lynn and I was born in 1975. I think the name is beautiful and I don't care how common it is. When I was in school, it was common, but now, as an adult, I don't know many Jennifers my age. Some people call me Jen or Jenny. That's ok, but I prefer Jennifer. Also, men love this name. Nobody ever seems to complain about how many Jims and Bobs and Bills are out there, so cut the name Jennifer some slack." Dec. 6, 2006:

"My name is Jennifer Brooke. and i my name as a whole .. but just jennifer i dont care for that much because it is so common. and everyone calls me jenny which is ok. i'd rather be called jen, usualy my close friends call me jen. its hard to change from jen to jenny since people have called me that since i was born =)" Dec. 4, 2006:

"Jennifer Danielle, born in 1961. When this name became overly popular about ten years later, I would often hear my name called but no one was looking for me, they were looking for someone under the age of three.

But don't call me "Jenny Craig" or "Jenny on the Block", and two "n's" in Jen drives me insane. There are 2 n's in Jennifer because that's how it's pronounced, there is one n in Jen because THAT'S HOW ITS PRONOUNCED! My brother liked to call me Jennifertilizer or Jenniformaldahyde or Jennifornication." Nov. 28, 2005:

"Jennifer is a popular, yes; however, there needs to be a cooling-off period. The excessive use of any name will gradually take away from the name's uniqueness. The last words any girl wants to hear is, "Which Jennifer? A., B., C., or Q.?"" Jun. 10, 2005:
