I really think it might be better to say that "Jennifer" is a variant of "Jenifer" rather than vice versa. The spelling Jenifer seems to have been by far the most common one in Cornwall where the name originated. The spelling with two n's only became the most common one because of the character in George Bernard Shaw's play.
I like the name, but not the spelling. A woman named Jenifer would probably spend her whole life correcting people on the spelling.
