Reminds me of the classic poem:
Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in,
Time, you thief, who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in.
Say I’m weary, say I’m sad,
Say that health and wealth have missed me,
Say I’m growing old, but add
Jenny kissed me.
This name always reminds me of Matilda's haiku, from Roald Dahl's book, and sweet, slim, smart Miss Honey.
How romantic, slumry! *grin* That sounds more than a bit like the literary couple Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe.
I am eternally grateful that that's NOT my number. Can you imagine the crank calls?
Also features in "867-5309/Jenny" by Tommy Tutone.
The name Jenny figures in these two songs:
Jenny, Jenny, 1957, Little Richard
Jenny, Take a Ride!, 1966, Mitch Ryder
Yep, slumry's right. Jenny usually refers either to a female bird or a female donkey, but joey doesn't refer to gender at all, just to age.
Not exactly opposite--I think joey refers to babyhood rather than gender. I wonder if a baby female kangaroo is a joey too.
*Really*? Like the opposite of a joey?
The female of some animals--Jenny Wren insisted on coming in our house one winter, no matter how many times she was put out. Honest. (Also my grandmother's name--my grandfather-to-be dipped her red braids in the inkwell, I am told)
