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

For a good few years it was literally the most popular name in every single state in the whole country.

Agree all the best people are called Jennie. I've never seen so many together in one place!

Everyone assumes it's spelled Jenny and everyone assumes you're really called Jennifer. Both these things are annoying. It is a lovely name though.

I have two cousins called Jennifer. One always uses her full name while the other is usually known as Jen.
I think it's a lovely name.

My dd is called Jennifer. We call her Jennie, Jen or Nif.
