About Jenny
At the height of the Jennifer craze, many parents were cutting straight to the nickname and putting Jenny on the birth certificate. But now that Jennifer is the mom rather than the daughter, Jenny, which has been somewhat replaced by Jenna, has faded as well.
Jenny is also given to boys.
Pronounced JEN-ee.
As of October 2026, Jenny ranked #1503 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #108 in 1977.
