Re: Jessica or Jennifer (more) +
in reply to a message by Perrine
Jessica is way better than Jennifer. I think Jessica is actually pretty, can be mature and friendly. Jennifer sounds more annoying and mean.
I also think Jessie is better than Jennie (but I've actually never seen Jennie outside of the one from Blackpink... it's always Jenny in my experience)
I like Jessica, Jessamine, and Jessamy. Jessa is okay. Jessie is only good if it's short for something.
Jenna is a little better than Jennifer but still basic. Jennica is interesting but I'd still say Jessica is better.
ETA: I do see why people would have liked Jennifer before it was popular. It's a form of Gwenhwyfar, it had an unusual but interesting ending with the "ifer", etc. I just can't unsee the 80's. (same with Jason- I'm sure people thought it was so cool and interesting to name their baby after a Greek hero but now it's just... Jason.)
I also didn't know that Jenny was short for Jane before it was short for Jennifer. I guess it was a form of Janey/Janie. I'm not sure what I would think if I met a Jane who went by Jenny, but it's kinds of cool.
