Could Jenna be a plausible nickname for Jennifer? Is it too much of a stretch (as Jenna is a name in itself), or does this work?

Yeah, definitely. I have a friend who does that and it never struck me as out of the ordinary.

I always thought up until now that Jenna started out as short for Jennifer o.O

Yup, as Jennifer, I've been called that several times. I actually prefer it to Jenn, but it never sticks (god forbid my family call me something I LIKE).

sounds good to me. oh, this would be an good post to mention that in the paper yesterday there was a Jannifer and they called her Janna. Same logic.

I think I've been called Jenna before (I'm a Jennifer), but I also have a cousin that's just Jenna. So it goes either way, imo.
