My parents don't have a specific meaning as to why they named me Jennifer. My mother told me that ever since she was a little girl she has loved the name. I have three older brothers that would have been named Jennifer if they were girls. Since my parents talked about having children they agreed on the name Jennifer for a girl. As far as my middle name goes, I am named after a few people one being my Aunt (my mother's sister). Two of my mother's closest friends are named Diane and Dee; Dee's middle name is also Diane. That is how my name came to be Jennifer Diane. I happen to love my name because I think it describes me very well. People named Jennifer are said to be there for you through the think and thin and take friendships and relationships very seriously.

Most people in an informal setting call me Jen. There is only one person who I allow to call be Jenny and that is my oldest brother, Craig. He is nine years older than me and has always and always will call me Jenny.

Other than my oldest brother, I do not like being called Jenny for a couple reasons. I personally think the name sounds childish Most people relate the name Jenny to the movie Forrest Gump and will pronounce it like Forrest does in the movie (Jen-naaay).

My name is pretty common, so I have only had one person spell Jennifer wrong, they spelled it with a "G" instead of a "J." However, people always add an extra "n" onto my nickname Jen.
