Name's Not Down was a standalone Jenny Everywhere comic story written by Joe Macaré and drawn by Nelson Evergreen. It is believed to have been the first of the original Barbelith Jenny Everywhere stories to be released, although My Bloody Valentine was begun first, and Jenny made a cameo in Late Night Queueing, a slightly earlier comic also drawn by Nelson Evergreen.

In an effort to establish a potential setting and status-quo for the Shifter, the story also introduced Jenny's friends Clea, Lex and Bradley and the town of Right-On By The Sea, which would recur in other stories. The characters would eventually be officially released as open-source in 2023.

Plot

Jenny Everywhere and her friends Clea, Lex and Bradley, who, together, form the band of Right-On By The Sea's most notorious chaotic troublemakers, try to get into an exclusive concert, but the bouncer insists that their name's not on the list — even though Jenny was pretty sure she had tricked Nathan, the promoter, into letting her come. The bouncer ends up touching the limits of Jenny's patience…
