[Opinions] Re: Jennifer
in reply to a message by Lily
My sister is named Jennifer and she was born in the early 70s. I've only ever called her Jennifer and that's the name she prefers to be called; only a few family members call her Jenny and she may answer to Jen occassionally.
I was born in the early 80s and I went to school with MANY Jennifers, Jennys, and Jens. There were probably 5 or 6 in my class of 180. Jennifer is like Michael to me. It's a name I don't "hear" anymore because its so common among my age group. I can't tell you how many Jennifer's I know in adulthood but it's probably over a dozen.
An old boss of mine is in his early thirties and named his daughter Jennifer -- she'd be about 4 or 5 now I think. When I first heard her name, I told him not many girls were named Jennifer anymore. It seemed particularly odd to me because every other girl being born was named Madison, Makayla or Jordan.
