Anyone have suggestions for a way to get to the nickname [name_f]Jenny[/name_f] without using [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] or its variants? I really like [name_f]Jenny[/name_f], but am not interested in it as a stand-alone name. And [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f], while lovely, feels dated in a not good way.
Some of my favorites:
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]
[name_f]Eugenie[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]/[name_f]Innogen[/name_f]
You could go the G route:
[name_f]Argenta[/name_f]
[name_f]Eugenie[/name_f]
[name_f]Geneva[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Magenta[/name_f]
[name_f]Virginia[/name_f] (possibly dated, but more timeless than [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f])
Or a J name that has the -en sound elsewhere:
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f]
[name_f]Janelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Jeanette[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessalyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessamine[/name_f]
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Julienne[/name_f] <–my favorite of these
[name_f]Jenny[/name_f]/[name_f]Jennie[/name_f] has been used as a nickname for [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f]/[name_f]Jeannette[/name_f] for decades. Also, how about [name_f]Jenna[/name_f], [name_f]Jennet[/name_f], [name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Jennica[/name_f]/[name_f]Jenica[/name_f], [name_f]Ginger[/name_f], or [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]?
[name_f]Janelle[/name_f]? [name_f]Jenna[/name_f]?
I believe that [name_f]Jenny[/name_f] (or [name_f]Jen[/name_f]) was traditionally a nickname for [name_f]Jane[/name_f] before the [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] craze, so that’d be my pick.
