Ginny: The name for the spirit gin is an English derivation of the Dutch word for Juniper: genever. This nickname is either in reference to gin, or similarly, when something is said to taste like juniper berries, it is said to be "ginny" tasting.
Jenny: More so in England, where in some places it is pronounced "jenny-per"
Nip or Nipper: While the origin of the usage of "nip" to refer to a drink or a glass of an alcoholic beverage actually comes from the rare term nipperkin [small measure], a folk etymology has that it originally referred to a nip of gin, with the "nip" being a shortening of juniper.
