Jenny

In the world of contemporary baby names, taking traditional nicknames and elevating them to first-name status is a winner! Like the girl's name Jenny, which originates from the more formal Jennifer, and now enjoys stand-alone status as a go-to for baby. This fun, lively name means "fair one," which is apt, as you rarely come across a Jenny that isn't fun, friendly, and welcoming. In the Middle Ages, Jenny was a pet name for people called Jean, and it also has roots in the names, Janet and Jane. From Jennifer Anniston to J-Lo "Jenny from The Block," Jenny is certainly an evergreen choice for ambitious, talented, and all-around stars.
