Growing up my dad used to sing the lyrics “Jennifer Juniper” all the time to me and I thought he had made them up because he never sang anymore of the song. It wasn’t until I was at least 18, working at a summer job when my boss walked through the room singing the same lyrics that lead to first confusion (how did you know my dads song) to excitement about an actual song with my name, which lead me down a brief Donovan path.
I also had Sara name envy and would name all of my princesses Barbie’s and dolls Sara.

Thanks for sharing!
I love this! I added Jennifer Juniper to the names playlist I made :) I hadn’t heard that one before
That song was played on a reel to reel by my dad right before my mom went to the hospital to give birth to me. I was named after that Donovan song.
But as a fellow child of the 80s I wanted my name to be Debra or Susan so I could be taken seriously. 😁
