Opinions on Jenny or Jennie? It was originally a medieval diminutive of Jane and has also been traditionally used as a name in its own right.

Do you think it's better as a nickname for Jennifer (and what do you think of Jennifer as well - is it too dated or more of a classic?)

Thanks! Grin

Jennie (standing alone - not short for Jennifer) is a family name of ours and I love it!

Love it. Not overused. Would use Jennifer for bc though as I like the choice it gives.

I like it as a nn for Jennifer (Jenny) and know quite a few grown up ones.
