I like
Samantha very much, but would never use it because of the nicknames
Sam or
Sammy. I think it's horrible to call a girl either one.
Jennifer was too popular and is now too dated. I was never fond of the "fer" sound at the end of it anyway.
Jenny is a nice nickname though. When I can break free of the "old lady" association that
Evelyn has for me, and just listen to the sound of it, I realize that it's a pretty name. Overall, it's a pretty good set, but I just can't stand
Sammy on a girl.
