The Names
Gabreya:
This is what I came up with concerning the name, 'Jenny'. Of course, I haven't made it up but someone else had. And I figured out myself.
Look here:
Ennis + Jack = Jenny
Get it?

:D Wow, noever thought of that before. :D
Front-Ranger:
Uncanny about Jack + Ennis = Jenny!
I like to think of Junior as Ennis' heir...the one who learned from his mistakes and got to have the sweet life. In many ways, her life paralleled his. She also took after him in many ways, such as his taciturnity, and his way of playing with the bottle when he wanted to avoid looking at the other person at the table, hehe. And Jenny was Jack ...especially the way she disappeared from the latter part of the movie. She was the one cradled in Ennis' arms...
Gabreya:
I agree, Front-Ranger. Alma Jr. is like his heiress. Her personality and demeanor is just like her father's. Jenny will probably be like Jack:a little more of a free spirit and boistrous.
Btw, that scene where she was a baby in Ennis's arms was so sweet. Because she seemed like a calm baby while Junior was in need of attention. She was walking up to her dad, crying, and hugged his leg until he held her. :'( Oh.
As for the 'Jenny' and how it relates to 'Ennis' and 'Jack', it only takes a few of the letters from those two names, plus one extra letter, to make up her name.
Look here again:
Ennis + Jack (+ y) = Jenny
