It sounds like someone with a mouth full of potato chips is trying to say Jennifer.. At least that's what first came to mind

It's the Welsh form of Guinevere, pronounced "GWEN-ih-var". Jennifer is actually derived from Gwenhwyfar.

Yes, I know but it doesn't change my opinion. It still sounds as if someone was trying to say Jennifer. Same problem with Guinevere, I think it's because Jennifer is so common...you automatically assume it has to be Jennifer. Which is why I wouldn't use a name that is very similar to a common one. She'll get "Jennifer!?" all the time.
