In the top 30 in 1880, I believe. Yeah, I think it originally came from Jane not from Jennifer. Isn't there any chance she could have known about it, though? Ancestors or books? I remember that at least Benjamin was named for someone maybe Jennifer was too.

I doubt it, but the book's possible. Jennifer probably became popular in America because of Jennifer Jones (b. 1919), although that wasn't even her real name.
