Yennefer

I love it and my husband loves it and it goes really well with our surname but I can't actually use it can I?

It will just always be associated with The Witcher and look like we are crazy superfans, which we aren't really. But I do think Yennefer is a great, strong character.

Anyone got any similar ideas?

Not seen the witcher. But if you like it and don't mind people thinking you're pronouncing Jennifer weirdly then why not.

Just use Jennifer. We were going to use it if our second had been a girl - it's actually not all that common these days, so a nice one to use.

Do you say it like Jennifer ?

She will probably get the Witcher references for life - especially with how popular it is now! If I met someone called Yennefer I'd assume they were welsh?

Before I opened the thread I thought ‘the Witcher’. Just go with Jennifer. The Witcher is not even great literature/tv to make it a bit more reasonable.

I've never heard of this name but it sounds like someone who can't say Jennifer properly.

Jennifer?
