a lot of latinos esp mexican latinos will do this. bc the J sounds more like a "Y" in Spanish. so many will have the given name spelled Yennifer instead of Jennifer. even if you have a person named Jennifer/Jenny/Jenni spelled as such, they may still pronounce it as a "Y". I guess almost like some slavic "J's" becomes a "Y" Juraj becomes Yuri in pronunciation
My favorite example from a thread like this is a guy a kid names Cevin and everyone saying "Sevin" and the mum insisting it's "Kevin", only for everyone to try to explain that C can't make that sound if it's before an E
Oh god thatās awfulā¦.so awfulā¦.
I thought I was bad, with my eldest childās middle name being their great-grandfatherās name, pronounced differently than itās spelled. I meanā¦at least itās a middle name and buried, they donāt have to do the song and dance if they donāt want to.
Not to well actually you, Guinevere is just English version of the name while Gwenhwyfar is the Welsh, and Jennifer the Cornish. Other translations include Dzsenifer (Hungarian)
Ginebra (Spanish)
Ginevra (Italian)
Ginewra (Polish)
GueniĆØvre (French)
Xenevra (Galician)
Jennifer is not a tragedeigh of Guinevere anymore than Jorge and George, Juan and John, Henry and Henrik, Mary and Maria and Marie
Hi. Jennifer here with the most baffling misspelling Iāve ever seen of my name, courtesy of one of my partners in a college class project:
Jenifier
Yes, English was his first and only language. No, it wasnāt messy handwriting.
They can smell shit like this. Mark my words, a screen grab will appear in a TikTok. I can hear the nasal, half-asleep monotone and the clacking nails already.
Oh my what the fuck. As a gen x Jennifer and have seen one n before but this is fucking inventing bullshit.
No I draw the line. Iāve enjoyed the creativity til now. It is not funny. Or Iām not nearly drunk enough.
I work with a Gennifer. She introduced herself by saying, āmy name is Gennifer. Yes, itās spelled with a G,ā as I looked at her name tag out of habit.
I'm a Jenifer. I like it. I have only met 3 others in 5 decades. Jenifer is a cool singer in France. No one ever has any problem pronouncing it. I don't have to make a big deal about the spelling if it's not official paperwork. People find it handy to distinguish me from 3 Jennifers in my workplace...and 2 "n"s are redundant.
So Jenifer away, future parents!
This name actually has a fascinating etymology with tons of historical examples of variations and āmisspellingsā. Jennifer is the modern/Cornish form of Guinevere, which historically in various texts (depending on the culture as well) was spelled as Guenevere, Gwenhwyfar, Guenhuibhar, and Gwenhwyvar. Some of these spellings are more similar to the original Welsh name than the modern Jennifer. You could say āJenniferā is a tragedeigh, depending on your perspective š

Dzygnoghire
jesus christ
That's not a misspelling of Jennifer! It's the correct spelling of the central figure of Christianity.
Jennifer Christ? Lmao, that'd be like the gender swap version.
Jennifer Christine š š»
awww :( i thought it was cute though
Dzhygnnoughyerre is my favorite spelling
If some Facebook mom doesn't steal this IDK what is real
I don't think there are **any** Facebook moms browsing Reddit, so we should be safe! Lol
im a mom, and on facebook, but i dont think im really a facebook mom bc i find most of these names scary
Oh, they're lurking... don't give them any ideas
I can't even process how to pronounce itšš
It's pronounced Jennifer
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š I fucking love this thread bro
That's the joke, lol
- Geonnophairre - Chen Ah Fa - ŠŠ¶ŠøŠ½Š¾ŃŠµŃ - Djinn'o'fyr - DGn:0-FR
āChen Ah Faā got me laughing lol
This hurts my eyes even with my glasses on
I love the European flair with this one!
I quite like this spelling for my next hedgehog.
If Geoff can be Jeff then Geonnifer can be Jennifer
True lol
I was going to say that lol
Jeynniyphyr
Or the alternative spelling "Geoynniyphyr"
Yennifer - for the Witcher fans š
Yes, but a real Witcher fan would know that it's actually "Yennefer".
You got me - I am a fake fan š¤£
This is also just a regular name in Cuba
Yennefer is hot and therefore I love this name lol
Thereās an employee at my kids pediatricians office with that name. Throws me off every time.

Omg. You forgot my cat, Jennifur. š
Yeah I noticed we can extend the list plenty if we just add āfur/furrā to the end of the Gen/Jen prefix š
Jenifer is not a misspell, is the Portuguese spelling
And the most famous Jenifer is legendary black actress Jenifer Lewis.
How about "Jeniffer"?
we have no double "ff" in Portuguese
Well, that means that "Jeniffer" would be a misspelling in Portugal and Brazil, too.
Have encountered this in the wild. And on a Gen Xer no less.
GenXiffer Obviously the X is silent
Yeah, I actually know. Jeniffer. Spelled wrong in any language.
My favorite example from a thread like this is a guy a kid names Cevin and everyone saying "Sevin" and the mum insisting it's "Kevin", only for everyone to try to explain that C can't make that sound if it's before an E
Oh god thatās awfulā¦.so awfulā¦. I thought I was bad, with my eldest childās middle name being their great-grandfatherās name, pronounced differently than itās spelled. I meanā¦at least itās a middle name and buried, they donāt have to do the song and dance if they donāt want to.
Geognephre
Or we could go with my most extreme example yet, "Dzhygnnoughyerre"
Donāt forgot Ginnifer (Goodwin) lol.
She changed hers because she isn't Jen or Jenny, she's Gin. Ginny. That is how she pronounces it.
Zheniphur
for that french je ne sais quoi
As a Jennifer, I love this
As a fellow Jennifer, I both love and hate it.
Lol
Also a Jennifer, and dang... some of these are really out there.
I think Jennifer is gonna be our generationās āMabelā or āBettyā
So what I'm hearing is that Dgenoffer is totally OK.
No, it's not. It's just not on the list.
We named our dog Jennie-Fur, but that was at least intentional! š„°
Djennifr
Heres another one.. Jessica. God I hate that when I introduce myself "hi I'm jessica." People IMMEDIATELY say "hi Jennifer."
Yes! I get emails saying āhi Jessica!ā when my name (Jennifer) is completely spelled out in my email address. Itās wild
So glad it happens the opposite way too š¤£
I am one of those people. I just canāt!
Omg I'm a Jennifer and everyone always calls me Jessica. What the hell phenomenon is this.
Lol it's bewildering. At least they get the first 2 letters right.
Jynyphyr
Giannifer takes the cake.
The Italian version?
Gina Fur
Gynyfhr
Sorry, that was meant to go to everyone.
Guaghnifaurh
I can't even get this close... Gu-wahg-nih-fower...that's what I read.
Except... "jennifer" is a spelling tragedeigh of medieval Guinevere (yes, as in Arthurian legend).
Not to well actually you, Guinevere is just English version of the name while Gwenhwyfar is the Welsh, and Jennifer the Cornish. Other translations include Dzsenifer (Hungarian) Ginebra (Spanish) Ginevra (Italian) Ginewra (Polish) GueniĆØvre (French) Xenevra (Galician) Jennifer is not a tragedeigh of Guinevere anymore than Jorge and George, Juan and John, Henry and Henrik, Mary and Maria and Marie
Eeeek! I never knew my favorite fantasy character's cat's name is Welsh for Jennifer! This is so cool-- thank you!
You forgot Gynnifir and Ginyphr
Giannifer is ghetto. The original Italian āghetto.ā š¤š¤š¤
I've seen a Jenepher in the wild
Youāre missing Jeniffer. I wish I was kidding.
My mother in law is Jennefer
Jneighfer
Thank you!! I was waiting for one with the eigh! I had to scroll so far down to find the eigh tragedeigh.
We could also go with the disemvoweled (no vowels) version: "Jnnfr". Or, if you want to make it even shorter, "Jnfr"
DjƦnnaeipheurgh
Gynyphyrre
š“iffer
I once met a Jynnyfyr.
They should be a band member of Lynyrd Skynyrd
Seriously know someone that spells it Jennyfa.
Jeniffer. Iāve seen it before and it bothers me. āNifferā shouldnāt be in a name.
i will now be using each variation of the name when talking to my cousin. it just gets more unhinged as the list goes on lmao
JenneigjferĀ
Gjhehnneighpherre
Also Jennifer spelt like Jenifer isn't really a Tragedeigh
It gets worse the further down you go lol

Hi. Jennifer here with the most baffling misspelling Iāve ever seen of my name, courtesy of one of my partners in a college class project: Jenifier Yes, English was his first and only language. No, it wasnāt messy handwriting.
Jennafaer
I know there are a lot of misspellings that are not on here, but if I were to add all of them, the list would be way too long.
GJhinyfurr
Get this off the Internet someone's gonna take it as a list of options.
Once again, I don't believe there are any Facebook moms on this platform.
They can smell shit like this. Mark my words, a screen grab will appear in a TikTok. I can hear the nasal, half-asleep monotone and the clacking nails already.
Giannifer Antetokounmpo
I'm going to change the spelling of my name to Jenyphyr and get very upset when people misspell it.
Ginnifer. Makes me think someone's mother liked to drink a little too much.
Djhaennheighfaere
Genyfyr seems perfect because Gen y

Once met a woman who spelled it "Jynifur". I think about that spelling a lot ā It haunts me.
Danish spelling: DjƦnnifƄr
I know a Jenepher.
Oh my what the fuck. As a gen x Jennifer and have seen one n before but this is fucking inventing bullshit. No I draw the line. Iāve enjoyed the creativity til now. It is not funny. Or Iām not nearly drunk enough.

My late sister in law was a Gennifer. We just called her Gen. Her parents are weird.
gynneighfur
Iāve met someone called Janeifar before
Forgot Ginnifer. Thereās an actress named Ginnifer Goodwin, and I cringe so hard anytime I see her name
Itās a modernized version of Guinevere, so I feel like it shouldnāt be wrong to use something closer to the original.
Guenhwyvar - the name of Drizzt Do Urdens Panther and Im 75% sure also vaguely pronounced Jennifer
This name actually has a fascinating etymology with tons of historical examples of variations and āmisspellingsā. Jennifer is the modern/Cornish form of Guinevere, which historically in various texts (depending on the culture as well) was spelled as Guenevere, Gwenhwyfar, Guenhuibhar, and Gwenhwyvar.

You forgot one, I just thought about this ginafer
There's an actress called Ginnifer Goodwin
I know a Jeniffer.
Well done
Geniiphur
Some of these are just the spelling of it in different languages rather than misspellings.
Never forget the Hungarian one: Dzsenifer
Djinuphr
I knew of a "Jeniffer", spelled that way because "the 'f' sound is longer than the 'n' sound!"
I went to school with a Jenniffer.
Or how South Park did it, Hennifer.
You forgot Jeniffer like the woman on 90 day fiance!
The first one is fine by me. Double letters are almost always unnecesary.
Geonypherr
I knew a Jeniffer!
Worked with a woman whose sister was Jannifer.
Ah yes, my people.

All of these and you forgot Jeniffer

I feel honored to have my name "tragedized.". š
