Jon (which was weird because that was my boss' name and people on the other line would get all confused.)
Jen-i (pronounced Jen-eye.)
I stick to Jen but people call me all sorts of crap.

Not so much on topic, but...
This reminded me of how many different spellings there are for the same name. My name is Carrie and is misspelled nearly every time! The ways I can remember are:
Kari
Keri
Kerry
Karey
Carrey
Carey
Karrie
Kerrie
Cari
Cary
...and probably at least a few more I can't remember!
It used to drive me nuts, but now I'm used to it. When someone asks me my name and has to write it down for something, I've gotten used to saying "Carrie, C-A-R-R-I-E" ...that coupled with having a semi-weird last name, which I also have to spell everytime, makes it kinda funny!
