What do you think of Jennifer?
I know it was crazy popular, but if it hadn't been, do you think you'd like it?
It actually does have quite an unusual sound with the -fer ending, but I find it to be quite soft and pretty.
Do you like the nickname Jenny or Jennie?
I personally like Jennifer, don't mind Jenny and Jennie. However I really dislike the bland Jen which is what most Jennifers seem to be called.
Actually I hardly ever hear the full name as most Jennifers are just Jen all of the time.

I've never liked the "fer" ending. And its popularity got to the point that when I received a birth announcement in 1984 from friends announcing that the name was Jennifer, I rolled my eyes and thought, "Couldn't they do better than that?"

I really like it, I would even consider using it. I think the nn Jenny is very sweet.

My stepdaughter is Jennifer. When I met her she went by Jenny, which is what the family called her growing up. At some point through counseling she changed to Jennifer as a way to shed childhood things and "grow up."
I like both Jennifer and Jenny, although I'm fond of the spelling Jennie.
I had a roommate in college named Jennifer. At that time Jennifer was being used for newborns like crazy but you never met a grown-up Jennifer. Her middle name was Elizabeth, and I remember commenting to her that she had long names.

It’s hard to separate my feelings from its suffocating popularity, but I still don’t think I would like it. There are other, similar names that I don’t care for, and I almost always prefer the version of a name with the most historical context.

If it hadn't been nauseatingly popular, I would have found it sprightly and charming. However, it grates on me in reality.

I have a cousin named Jennifer, she is usually just Jennifer. I have never liked the name, the fer ending is unattractive and it has the same bland, not-quite-placeholder feel as Sarah or Amy.
Jennie/Jenny is cute enough.

It's OK. I do think I'd like it more if it hadn't been so overly popular. Nothing kills the appeal of a name more surely than overuse.

I like it. I know it’s been crazy popular in the English speaking world but I don’t mind that.
