Description:
Who doesn't know a Jennifer, or two, or three? And it's no wonder why. Jennifer reigned supreme on the baby name rankings in America from 1970-1984. Just think of all the actresses produced in that era (Lopez, Garner, Connelly, just to name a few.) While the moniker has had a decline in popularity since then, it's still a name many parents gravitate towards. If you like the sound of it but want something a bit more special, try its Celtic root name Guinevere.
