I can think of four from the school I work at. One graduated one or two years ago. One is in fourth grade, one in kindergarten, and the other is three. They all go by their first names, but once in a while the kindergartener wants to go by her middle name on her assignments (Tatiana. I'm not a fan of the combo.) Three of them are the children of immigrants, so they maybe want their kids to blend in, not stand out as Hispanic, and they know that Jennifer is a common name here, so they use it. I also know a Jessica who will be five soon, and a year old Amanda.
