I’d love everyone’s opinions on this name for a girl. What do people think?

Just in case anyone else is puzzled by the Jenna Taylor reference, Jenna Taylor = Genitalia.
It took me 10 minutes googling to figure it outSmile

Blake's Seven character

I like the name Jenna, I went to school with a girl called Jenna, it was unfortunate her surname was Taylor
She was bullied at Senior school because of it 😪

It's ok I suppose

My dd1 was really badly bullied by a Jenna, so I think that clouds the opinion I have of the name.

Prefer Jennifer by a mile.

I like it.

I'm a big Jennifer fan. It's a beautiful classic name that you can shorten to Jenna then she can choose Jenny, Jen, Fern if she likes as she gets older.

Gigia · 27/09/2021 22:08

I really like it

I think of Priscilla Presley in Dallas but it is a nice name and most people wouldn't think of that connection nowadays
@Kindlethefourth, Jenna Wade same thought

Just met a lovely 3 year old called this and commented what a nice name it is. I don't think it's 80s in the same way Gemma / Louise / Lisa are. I thought it was unusual but didn't immediately think it was dated or anything.

Snowdropsandbluebells · 27/09/2021 21:16

Beautiful

TuftyMarmoset · 27/09/2021 21:15

I really like it! Like wolfie I’ve only met one and she was lovely.

Kevinbaconsrealwife · 27/09/2021 21:14

Absolutely love it x

Wolfiefan · 27/09/2021 21:13

I’ve only ever met one and she was lovely so I like it!

Twizbe · 27/09/2021 21:11

It's very 80s. I went to school with quite a few. It's a nice name though.

Yika · 27/09/2021 21:07

Lovely, simple, pretty.

DramaAlpaca · 27/09/2021 21:06

I like it, it's a pretty name that isn't fussy.

DariaMorgendorffer · 27/09/2021 20:52

Lovely name

HerRoyalRisesAgain · 27/09/2021 20:42

I associate it with not very nice people but other than that its a perfectly reasonable name

BeaLola · 27/09/2021 20:41

It's ok - I like it but don't love it but that's ok as long as you love it

Depends on yr surname

Toastytoads · 27/09/2021 20:37

Just so long as you surname isn't Taylor.

storkstalk · 27/09/2021 20:34

A bit 80s

Milkbottlelegs · 27/09/2021 20:29

Love it. I’m also a fan of Jennifer.
