Can a name be (a teeny bit) jinxed?

[scarecrow22]

My DH and I both love Jennifer, however I had an aunt of that name who died youg (in her late 50s) and a sister who has had serious health problems for several years, both with that name or a variation. I adore my sister so the connotation is mostly positive, but I have a little niggle that it is bad luck in my family. It's only a small niggle, and I love the name, but should I listen to this tiny doubt or can you help me rationalise it?
Sorry if you are called Jennifer/etc, obvs I only think bad luck in my family. It is beautiful.

Er, no. I think you make a name your own. Personally I hate the name because it was the name if a absolute cow who I went to school with but that's just my own bad association.

No.
My mum is called Jennifer (Jen) and is both in good health and not a cow

I wouldn't do it, sorry; I'm terribly superstitious and the negative associations would bother me.

If you can't get rid of the niggle, I wouldn't use it. I think superstitions tend to lead to people looking for evidence of confirmation. So not that she'll actually have exceptionally bad luck, but if every time she does have a bit of bad luck you immediately think "Argh I shouldn't have called her Jennifer!" that won't do much for your piece of mind over the years.

What about Ginevre?

peace of mind.

Thank you for sane and sage advice

I love th name, and have a perfectly healthy Jennifer of my own.

No, there is no such thing as jinxed.

But if you think it is then you won't be happy.

I called my ds after a sibling of mine who died at a young age. And the had an irrational fear of my ds dying at the same age. It was an awful feeling, it went away after he got to the same age as sibling was when he died (11 days) - I only had to feel slightly crazed and paranoid for a short time, I think if it really bothers you then it will for a long time.
