I am also an 80s baby and I love Jennifer. For me it was more of a mum name then so most likely women born in the 50s and 60s. I would however love to use it now but my husband says no.

I actually like it, but mainly with the nn Jenn. My mom was born in 81, and I forget which Jenn was which in her stories. Still pretty. I don’t love the “fer” sound either.

I love Jennifer. I probably wouldn't use it due to the datedness, but I like both Jen and Jenny as nicknames and Jennifer seems to suit a wide variety of ages well, where some names just look add at certain stages.

My English name is Jennifer and I am 15 years old. I changed after becoming a BtN user. Personally, I think it's a really cool name.

It’s a fine name, but I don’t care for it.

I like how sprightly it is, but I can’t divorce it from its context as one of the most popular names for decades. It’s so boring!

Love it

I've always loved Jennifer, and would gladly use it. Jenny is fine as a nn.

I have always thought that Jennifer was a gorgeous name. Honestly, I'd name a daughter as Jennifer. A similar name that I absolutely love is Jenna (which is more common among my age group, yet there are also Jennifer's of course!). There's also Jennica, which I actually prefer to both Jennifer and Jenna.

Jennifer has a lovely sound... and entirely too many parents in the 60s, 70s, and 80s agreed. :-P

I even knew a few Jennifers in high school, and we were all born in the 90s. Like Mary, Jennifer needs a good long rest because it's a bit tired.

I find it bland, even without it feeling dated.

Not big on 'fer' either, that's why I like Jenna more.

It is way overused. I prefer Jenuffa, Minver or Nilaphar. This is just a very boring name and I really dislike Jen.

If I could wave a magic wand and make any name less popular it would be Jennifer
