Courtesy of Jen of Dawson's Creek (With my own thoughts added) Other forms of "Jennifer": JEN - Plain, simple, unadorned…I like it. It's what I go by. (People in the past have used it as my name, but these days people only use it if they're too lazy to add another syllable at that moment!) JENN- another variation on that… but I've always been a one "N" kinda girl. (I'm with her on this one) JENELLE - anything that ends in -elle is a little too girly for me. (This is a name??) JENNY - (This one is mine. I'm told that Jenny only exists with pony tails and glasses. We're working to change that.) JENI, JENNI, JENNIE, JENNE, JENNEY - Haven't gone by these since my New York days…and I don't intend to again. (Other versions, I tried a couple at times, but they just don't work for me) JENIFARI - What? Sounds like some trip you go on to visit exotic animals. I think not. (Again, I agree) JENNA - I knew some girl in my chem class by this name. Hated her. (I knew a Jenna, but I don't think I could handle it) GUINEVERE - Well…I don't think I'd ever go by this name… but if I was a medieval Queen, perhaps… (Another Jenny once asked me if anyone had mistaken my nickname for being short for this name. I had never even heard of the name. The next week, someone asked me if my name was short for this name...talk about the physic Jenny link....) GENNIFER, GENNIFUR, GENIFER, GENEVER - Eeew. The "G" spelling has to go. Reminds me of Gennifer Flowers. (If you put a G on the front of a name, people don't always pronounce it like a J...then it would sound dumb) JEFFIE - Jeffie? Okay, anyone who actually allows herself to go by Jeffie needs some serious help. Please email me immediately to rectify the problem. (Wow, got to agree yet again) JENEFFER, JENIFER, JENIFFER, JENIPHER, JENNEPHER, JENNYFER, JENYFER, JENNAFER, JENNIFEUR -As I see it, these are all just lame efforts to disguise the fact that you've named your kid the most popular girls' name of the 80s. And on top of that, you've doomed her to a life of having her name misspelled on all sorts of crucial documents. This is crueler than naming your kid Jennifer. If you're going to do it, at least have the decency to spell it right! (Might as well agree one last time) |
