Random thought about the name Jennifer

I used to not care for the name Jennifer, it was way over used I thought. Now, I know where that name is derived from and I don't groan everytime I hear it. Jennifer is the modern for Gwenevere.

in another random thought....

....my landlord is named Jennifer and therefore it makes me think of Bi^ch....

(No offense to anyone names Jennifer...just a random thought)

my wife is named Jennifer.......now that we have a son all I call her is
"mom"

I always wondered how that happened! A regular person then you have a child and suddenly you are mom or dad. As a non married non parent I have often wondered if a person had a problem with thier parent who was the same gender of thier spouse, would they give them that parental title?

Someone named Jennifer is one of my very favorite people here ( MentalPollution), but it definitely was the "in" girls name in the early 1980s, so there are a lot of them roaming around now. I have a niece born in 1981 named Jenna, which is close, but still a bit more unusual.

I have to say, though, as a little kid I always wished I had a more "common" name. Kids go through that "monogram" stage in about 4th grade where they want pencils and notebooks and this and that with their name on them, and when I was growing up I was approximately the only "Candace" in the free world. LOL I didn't meet another one till I got to high school, and she spelled it differently! Now they're everywhere, it seems.
