Jenna

I agree with @JollyGiraffe12 about the name Esther. I like Jenna though.

emmathedilemma · 11/02/2020 06:52

Esther but I associate it as being very Jewish (not that that’s a bad thing!)

FreshHorizons · 11/02/2020 06:54

Esther

Mamabear88 · 11/02/2020 07:29

Esther definitely. It reminds me of Judy Garland's character from Meet me in St. Louis which is my favourite Christmas film :)

Not a fan of Esther - don't really like Jenna either - wouldn't mind Jemma though.

TreatMyself · 11/02/2020 07:41

Jenna is ok. Not keen on Esther at all.

I know an Esther - a very bossy opinionated woman with a very hard face. For that reason, definitely Jenna! Grin

When I hear Jenna I just think of the kardashian/Jenner clan which I think a lot of young people might associate it with. Esther is lovely but very old fashioned but I prefer it of the 2 x

I prefer Jenny

Lordfrontpaw · 11/02/2020 07:50

I’ve never met a Jenna - and would assume it was short for Jennifer (a bit 80s).

Esther

Omashu · 11/02/2020 08:18

Esther

Whatsyourflava · 11/02/2020 09:21

@Pipandmum it’s easy to check the statistics of a name. Having 2 Esthers in a year is very unusual as the name has hovered around the no 200 slot for the past 20 years. Usually around 300 babies a year given this name.

PrimeraVez · 11/02/2020 09:26

Esther is elegant and timeless.

Jenna feels a bit 1990.

Dyra · 11/02/2020 09:59

Esther.

Singingatmidnight · 11/02/2020 10:14

I know a lovely Esther (though she's Italian, so she's Ester).

BlueMoon1103 · 11/02/2020 10:34

I LOVE the name Esther

AlpacaGoodnight · 11/02/2020 20:48

Esther

YouOnlyLiveTwice · 11/02/2020 20:59

Esther Jennifer.

Poorolddaddypig · 11/02/2020 20:59

Esther, much much more

Strugglingtoquit · 11/02/2020 21:46

Esther
