What are your thoughts on the name Jennifer?

We are thinking of Alice as a middle name to go with our short (3 letter, one syllable) surname

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Sadly the three Jen/Gen's I've known haven't been nice
People so thatd be a no from me :-(

I don’t like it, it’s to 1970s and reminds me of someone who is difficult

I have a Jennifer. So might be biased. I love it. She's Jen for the most parts. I like that around here I have yet to meet another small Jennifer.

Really dislike, sorry. But from personal experience it's a pain in the arse name with too many nicknames etc

Lovely!

Jennifer Alice is sweet!

Lovely choice. Unusual nowadays, too

Love Jennifer, wanted it for mine but would have caused jealousy with aunties. Also Jenny is very 70s so I would have hated it being shortened

Jennifer works much better in English than Geneviève.
