I prefer Jenny. It just looks tidier. I prefer it as a nn.As a nn for Jane, it's so dated it seems new. As a nn for Jennifer, it's deeply predictable. But it's still a good name. What I can't stand is the whole Genny thing, whether for Genevieve or - worse - Gennifer!

In fact, I have an in-law relative named Jenny, not Jennifer. I suppose it's ok, but I'd use the name Jennifer. I like Jennie best. By the way, most of my in-laws(the in-laws again!) assume my name is Jennie and call me that. It's not, it's Jean, very occasionally Jeanie.
I don't correct them, though. It's ok, I know when they mean me.

One of my closest friends is Jennie (full name) and I also work with two women named Jenny (again, full name). There used to be a Jenni as well.
I definitely consider it to be a name that works on its own. I don't really see a differences between Jennie and Jenny. Not a fan of the Jenni-spelling but I guess it's not that bad.

I don't really care for it. I prefer Jennie. While I like Jessie as a full name I'm not so fond of Jennie. I think I prefer Jennifer. The only one I really really dislike is Jen, it's so lifeless. Maybe that's because about 90% of all the Jennifers I know from English speaking countries go by Jen. Do you like Jenna? Jenna nn Jennie is cute.

As a given name I prefer the spelling Jenny. Jennie seems a bit too nicknamey for me. Either way, I'm not a huge fan of the name but I don't dislike it either.
