You mention that the majority of the Jennifers you know were born between 1989 and 1996. Jennifer was so popular for so long that I know even by the time my husband's college friend named his daughter Jennifer in 1984, upon reading the birth announcement, I rolled my eyes and said, "Oh, come on! Could they not come up with something a little more original than that?" That's literally what happened, I remember it. If I heard of a newborn Jennifer between 1989 and 1996, I probably would have had an apoplexy, but then, I put a lot of importance on avoiding popular names, which not everyone does.
