"My name is Jenny and I love it!! It does get upsetting when people call me Jennifer cuz thats not my name its Just Jenny. Once I was called Jennifer so I go on to tell them that my name is Jenny and they pushed that it had to be Jennifer, I told them I'd so them my birth certificate if they didn't believe me. Hehe that ended the debate! I've even gotten a few people ask me how to spell it. I had to laugh but now a days thats normal. I wouldn't change my name it fits me just right. Its a very pretty name and is perfect all by itself." Dec. 11, 2010: 
"My REAL name is Jenny! I say this because here, in my dorm hall, there are these other girls named Victoria and Natalie, they say their nicknames are Jenny and would prefer to be called that. I don't know about you, but I'm the one born with the name, it's so annoying when people call for "Jenny", but then it's for someone else. Learn to love your own name!" Oct. 3, 2009:

"I've always been perfectly happy with the name Jenny. It's a good name. I was Christened Jenny, not Jennifer, and I do find it irritating when people assume I must be Jennifer really. I'm not - I'm just Jenny - and I like it that way. When I was at school there were no other Jennys around, but now I'm older there seem to be a lot more. I don't really like other people to be called Jenny - it's MY name." Apr. 24, 2007:

"Named Jenny liked Jennifer better, didnt mind when people called me that and eventually changed it to Jennifer by my late 30s. When your name is Jenny, its easy for people to make fun of you or call you crazy, it sounds stupid.. an ending with ie is better like Jeanie..which reminds me of Barbara Eden...Jenny is like a kid in the 70s and 80s but as an adult unless youre an actress youre not going to be taken seriously. If you want your daughter to be ridiculed behind her back for having a mental illness name her Jenny." Jul. 15, 2019:
"This is my name. I hate introducing myself as this because it sounds cutesy, so I say "Jen" instead." Jul. 31, 2006:

"I'm pleased to read that I'm not the only Jenny that found it infuriating when people thought it was short for Jennifer. I do not know why but I really do not like the name Jennifer which just makes me think of celebrity actresses. I liked my name when I was younger but as I am getting older I wish I had a more serious name like Victoria or something. I'm a lawyer and I feel like Jenny seems like quite an informal person that you wouldn't have to take seriously." Sep. 29, 2020:
"My name is just Jenny. It bugs me when when people call me Jenniffer, cause like even if my name was Jennifer obviously you should call me Jenny cause that?s what I said. no need to spice up my name. My twin sister named Julianne calls me ?je ne sais quoi? as a nick name and my family will call me Jen Jen too. Also when I say my name to people they think I?m say Janeen or something."

"I absolutely love this name!I hate my name now. I'm going to change it to either Jenny or Jennifer but I don't know which one! They're both so pretty <3 But I think I'll change it to Jennifer, then have people call me Jenny. Perfect! :)" Apr. 15, 2013:
"My name is Jenny,But like always people THINK its Jennifer. I Hate that, ITS Jenny" Apr. 4, 2011:
"I go by the name Jenny so commonly that I consider it my real name. I actually am a Jennifer, but I can't remember a single time I've been called by that; it doesn't sound like it should be my name. So I consider Jenny to be my real name. I like it just fine, but it's a bit cute for me these days, I'm growing out of it." Oct. 25, 2010:
"All my life I've found it really infuriating that people assume my name is Jennifer, and I've actually had to have arguments with substitute teachers about it. All in all though, I think Jenny is a good name. I can't really say it suits me, since most of the time I just go by Jen, but I wouldn't recommend to anyone else that they just give their child a nickname." Mar. 18, 2010:
