Quick question.

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

[summer-daisies.livejournal.com]

I guess it is. o_o I always thought Jen and Jenny were all a Jennifer had to choose from as far as nicknames go, and that Jenna was a separate name in and of itself. You learn something new everyday!

It isn't?

Seems normal to me:)

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).

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Sure! I like it even better than Jennifer ;)

not at all a stretch. I'm a Jennifer who goes by Jena.

Works for me. I go by Jenni now but as a kid my Grandma called me Jena.

It does.

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.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wouldn't find it odd at all.

I know a Jenna whose full name is Jennifer.

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.

Jennifer, or Genivine.
