There was one, just one, Jennifer in my high school, and she was born circa 1960, perhaps 1959 or 1961, but definitely within that time frame, as she was in the same class as I. My older sister had two friends who each named their daughter Jennifer back in the mid 1970s. My daughter had a childhood playmate named Jennifer who was born in the early 1980s. My husband's college friend and his wife named their daughter, who was born in 1984, Jennifer. I once read the obituary of a woman who died when she was in her mid-seventies. She was born in the early 1930s. Her name was Jennifer, and it was jarring to read of a woman that old named Jennifer and I just couldn't picture it. Her parents were certainly ahead of the times. Now that you mention it, no, I have never known a Jennifer born past 1990.

High school Jennifer went by Jennifer and so did my daughter's childhood friend. The college friend's daughter was called Jenny. I'm not sure about the two Jennifers who were born in the mid 70s, and I have no idea what the dead Jennifer went by as she was totally unknown to me. (I have a morbid habit of just reading obituaries.)

I am the opposite of you when it comes to my opinion of the name. I like the "Jen" part, and I like the nicknames Jen and Jenny, but I really dislike the "fer" ending, which makes me not like the entire name nearly as much as I like the nicknames. For that reason, I don't think I ever would have considered using the name, even before it became so wildly popular.
