The Society for Preventing Parents from Naming Their Children Jennifer (SPPNTCJ) was a popular and sometimes controversial website that contributed to early web culture, online from 1996 to 2000.
[1] The SPPNTCJ began as an inside joke on an email discussion list that both Farwell and Rich subscribed to, which included five or more Jennifers who actively posted at that time.
[2] During its run, the SPPNTCJ was noted by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Yahoo!
Internet Life magazine,[3] Thunder Bay Television News,[4] 580 CKPR radio program Tech Talk,[5] California State University, Chico, SignsOnSanDiego.com, WebMD and more.
It received several Internet "cool site" acknowledgments, from Cool Central,[6] Seven Wonders,[7] Twoeys, Fallen Thinkers,[8] and Secret Einstein.
