Comments for Jennifer

By the way, why has no one mentioned Jennifer Capriati (1990 Grand Slam champ and at a very young age)? She was quite famous.

Don't like the name Jennifer. Most of the ones I know are stuck up. In old times it must have meant demons or something.

This is my Mom's name, and she says that after she was named Jennifer instead of Cathy (really scary), everyone started to be named that. She doesn't like Jenny and goes by Jen. Most of the Jennifer's I know are adults, and I only know one kid Jennifer, who goes by Jenny.

Let us not forget Jennifer Saunders, the wickedly comic genius behind Britain's "Absoloutely Fabulous".

To the person whose friend said, "All Jennifers are hot," let me assure you that I have known at least as many ugly Jennifers as beautiful ones, and I have known at least 100 Jennifers! I don't really get why this name caught on so much in the 1970s; I think it's unpleasant-sounding. If it were my name (and it almost was) I would definitely go by "Jenny." I don't like the full name or "Jen."

My name is Jennifer and I have to agree that it is way overused. When my parents named me in 1971 they said they only knew of one other Jennifer. In grade 3 there were 3 of us and we were Jen, Jenny and Jennifer. I hated that. But I do have to say, aside from being very popular, I do like my name.

I like this name, but I agree it's overly-used (no offense) :) I think the French pronunciation for the "J" would be lovely; "Zhen-e-fver".

It was strange.. There was once a scene in Days of Our Lives where Jennifer was pretending to be a ghost or angel. She was hanging mid-air in a white gown. I was reading a Name Book, and when that scene was on I read that Jennifer means "white phantom".

My friend once said "every Jennifer is hot." But I agree the name is way to overused.

I legally changed my name from Jennifer. Please, do not name your daughter this. If you just have to name her Jennifer, give her a unique spelling or pronunciation.

Nice name, but overused. By the way, a famous bearer is Jennifer Lopez, who is gorgeous and succesful.

I don't care how many famous bearers of this name there are, it's my name and I don't like it. I've always hated the "fur" at the end.

Hello all, as far as I know the name means as much as "white spirit", "bright spirit" or, as a free translation, "good spirit". It derives from the Arabic "djinn" meaning "ghost" and "fer" for "white".
