About the Name Jenifer

Complex names are usually a harbinger of complex people. This is particularly true when the name bearer chooses the longer version of their name when a contraction is readily available: in this case, Jenny or Jen. The name Jennifer (and its spelling variants) are the fifth most popular names for girls in North America and are only slightly behind the stalwarts: Mary, Patricia, Elizabeth, and Barbara. The fact that J names are the most popular overall has to do with the fact that the J is associated with justice and spiritual strength, while the FR combination -- comprising of the fun-loving F and the red-blooded R -- is a particularly strong indicator of all things frisky, frantic, frazzled, freaky, frenzy, frenetic, frivolous, frothy and frolic. These names bespeak women full of bubbly effervescence with backbones comprised of solid titanium.

Confident, complex and intelligent, the JNFR is someone you’d expect to do well in life and counts among her many talents an extraordinary set of social skills. There’s a friendly yet no-nonsense aura about her and she’ll make it her business to know the name of every person in a room. And even though her outgoing nature suggests that she’s quite comfortable in social situations, there is also a shy that manifests itself when she feels out of her depth. On these occasions, the JNFR is likely to resort to her people-watching mode and quietly absorb the social milieu until she feels more at ease.

JNFRs like to think ahead, and are the kind of people who are constantly scanning the horizon for anything that might upset their future plans. Being that they are long-range thinkers, they’re apt to miss out on life’s daily pleasures while obsessing about tomorrow. But it’s poetry in motion when a JNFR’s plan comes together: these are women who know what they want and aren’t afraid of a little sacrifice in order to get it.

JNFRs makeenergetic and playful mates. But when they sense their mates aren’t committed as they are, they can be as cool as the other side of the pillow. This kind of chilly reception is their trademark way of expressing displeasure and mates had better be able to interpret its origins without having to ask.

So if you’re going to tie the knot with a JNFR, you’d better be the sensitive type or, better yet, a mind reader. In the main, most men agree that life with one of these impish sprites is worth just about any sacrifice… including the occasional night on the couch.
