Re: If you had to name your daughter today: Jessica or Jennifer (full names, no nicknames allowed) and why? nt
in reply to a message by Perrine
Ehhh. Jessica is a pretty name and I like its connections to Dune, but it's a "bully" name to me as well. Jess is also cute, but imagining myself with a Jessica for a daughter gives me the willies.
I wouldn't be super happy about it but I guess I'd use Jennifer. One of my oldest and best friends is a Jennifer so I think of her first, and it gives the name some warmth and personality. A Jennifer just sounds like a nicer person than a Jessica (to me). She'd have to have a really weird or sweet middle name to make up for it. Maybe something starting with an N so it becomes "Jennifer N____" and I would call her "Jennifern" sometimes. Jennifer Nancy maybe? Cuuute.
