I have always really liked my name. Despite the fact that I was often one of 3 or 4 Jennifer’s in my class growing up, it never bothered me. I wouldn’t change it even if I could. The only thing I’m picky about is spelling Jen with only 1 “n”. Most people pick up on that rather quickly. Except my Dad…who still insists on spelling it “Jenn”…but you have to forgive your parents because they’re your parents. And they picked the name. So I let it slide in Dad’s case.
And since I’m procrastinating today on pricing my items for our ginormous garage sale on Saturday, I clicked the link on Jackie’s blog which led me to this:
What Jennifer Means |
![]() You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed… even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing. You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something. |
The funny this is…it seems fairly accurate to me. Except for the rebel part at the end…I don’t feel much like a rebel. Especially these days! LOL
What do you think? Is that the Jennifer you know?
If you head over there yourself, be sure to let us know what’s in your name!




Since I too am procrastinating pricing items for the garage sale, I checked my name meaning too and I’ll post it shortly.
The definition of Jennifer totally fits the Jen I know. As for the rebel part, all I can say is Stripper Bucks …

I’d say most of it is pretty accurate; according to that web-page I hang out will a lot of type A personalities…must be why it’s so hard to decide where to eat or what movie to watch…no one wants to follow…lol.

I always liked the name Jennifer, and wished I had a name that everyone knew how to spell and pronounce. Way to go Jen’s parents!
