in reply to a message by Egyptian Princess

By my family:
Errr (very short for 'Jennifer')
Jenathan (mixture of my name and my brother's)
Ruth (Grandpa calls me by Mom's name...)
Precious (Dad's name for me. I don't think he's ever called me 'Jennifer')
Darling (Grandpa also calls me this)
Mother (by my brothers when I get too bossy)

By my friends:
Genevieve
Jen
Jenny
Jin/Jinny/Jinnifer (by a friend who never got the 'eh' part right)
Lyric
Coral
Brat
The Brains of the Outfit
Cutie-face/Babes/Sweetie (by my boss' wife)
Refinnej (Jennifer backward)

There are probably more that I've forgotten...

ETA: I'm called Miss Spock, too.

Was that on purpose or something your parents "created" when getting mixed up trying to call one of you? :b My siblings and I (Heather, Candi, and Nicky) have been called Keather, Handi, and Kicky--and other variations--many, many times by our mother. ;)

Yes, it's a mix-up. I think that Jon was the one who made it up, actually.

The trouble with being called Jen and Jon is that when Mom calls us over the intercom system, they both sound almost the same. For years we couldn't distinguish the two.
