Jennifer or Jessica?

[Tigertots]

Which of these 2 names do you prefer? Both are gorgeous names. When I was younger, I preferred Jessica; but now I slightly prefer Jennifer.

I prefer Jennifer but both are nie.

This thread is amusing. I am a Jenny who spent her teenage years wishing she was a Jennifer. Now that I hear Jennys are silly and Jennifers are thoughtful piano players, I am going to make my mother change it. Even if I am 36.

I prefer Jennifer. Obviously. My best friend is a Jessica (cheer leader type) but I have taught too many unpleasant Jessicas to consider it for a potential DD.

My name is Jennifer! I do like it - a lot. People shorten it to Jen quite a bit but it can be Jenna or Jenny/ie too. I don't like being called Jenny much but Jen is good :)

Jessica - meh. There are many many Jessical's about but I do like the nn Jess - but that is pretty much it with the Jessica nick names. At least with Jennifer you have at least three different combinations depending on personality :)

Jennifer

Jessica for me. I work with 5 Jennifer's (we only have 65 employees!) and a work collegue has just named her baby DD Jennifer too. My best mates DD is called Jessica, I like it very pretty.

Jennifer - such a lovely name and been underused for years. I've never especially liked jessica - too many experiences of girls I didn't like called that. (girls of dd's age - now 20)

Jessica

Jennifer.
But be prepared for "Jenny" at school.

Jennifer, great name, suit every generation, and the short forms are all fab

Jessica! (it's my DD1). Her cousin is called Jennifer though. I honestly think they are both nice names.

Just for the record, Jenny's are not silly. In fact they are highly intelligent, slim, stunning looking and generous. .

not that I'm biased at all....

I think Jennifer and Jessica are twins, ones a bit racier and the other's more thoughtful, but both good girls at the core.........or am I regressing into Sweet Valley High?

I like Jennifer & all nns for it.
Jessica is fine, but over popular & I've known a few horrid ones.

Jennifer. Love it. Too many Jessicas around atm imho. (obviously I don't mean that as badly as it sounds, just that it's very popular, I don't wish them to disappear!!)

Love Jennifer. Jess/Jessica a bit popular. And I get your comment squoosh about the strange hissing in Jessica.

Jessica but it is very popular. Jennifer nice too.

Couldn't have said it better than Stellan
