i mean there are Jennifers

1. Aniston
2. Beals
3. Connelly
4. Coolidge
5. Finnigan
6. Garner
7. Grey
8. Jason Leigh
9. Jones
10. Lopez
11. Love Hewitt
12. Tilly

and that SEEMS like a lot, but not when you consider moxie had 8 in one class!

do Jennifers get famous under their middle names instead b/c the first is too common?

OR

are we slackers?

OR IS IT A CONSPIRACY

Definitely a conspiracy!!!

What is your middle name? Mine is Lynn.

My name has gained popularity as well and, frankly, I hate that. My name is mine. Hrmph.

Is your name actually Gemme? It is very popular in England among the 25 to 35 group it seems.

I just went through my FB friends list and I only have one Jen on there...

I feel completely unpopular now.

side note: growing up I was surrounded by Kims and Kimberly's and have 6 of them on my friends list... Is it a geographical thing???

I know lots of Kimberlys too, maybe it is geographical and age related?

What year were you born Apoc? What about you Tawse? Where did you grow up? How can we decifer unless we know that stuff? lol :-)

As an aside, I think that a lot of female's middle names are Lynn (mine included). It goes with lots of first names. But, again, that could be an age/regional thing.

Like I said, I grew up with a lot of Jennifers and I was born in 1970. In Maryland.

I changed my name to Jenny (legally) about ten years ago. People assume that it's short for Jennifer, but it's not (and I hate being referred to as Jen).

Why Jenny? I honestly have no idea. I guess I just liked the way it sounded.

I am not a Jennifer. However all my life I've always been friends with at least once.

Does Genevieve count as a Jennifer?

Thankfully my name is somewhat uncommon - unless you were born in the late 70s and your parents were fans of the Looking Glass, or you were born in the 90s and your parents liked the show Moesha. (Interestingly, Brandy Norwood was also born in the late 70s)

Born in 69 and have lived in the metro atlanta area for the entirety of it.

As another aside... I am now nominating "lynn/e" as the most common middle name regardless of first names.
