Jenna? Or one of our previous list: Chloe, Jolie, Annabelle, Sophie

I think we've narrowed it down a bit.

Jenna
Chloe
Jolie - people asked how we pronounce it. We'd just say jo-lee, I see it more like a variant of Jolene or Jo. We know that "jolie" means "pretty" in French but that would be pronounced differently and difficult in English).
Annabelle
Sophie

Do you know more Chloes or Sophies?

Some people said Jolie reminded them of Angelina and we are quite worried as we actually don't like the association (she's lovely I suppose, but just in the media too much due to fights and drama with Mr. Pitt which puts me off). Is this too Angelina Jolie as some people said?

A new favourite of ours is Jenna. We think it's nice and energetic sounding in a way. I also like Jennifer but feel like it is a bit too dated.

We decided to not use Sarah or Sarah-Jane. We might still change our minds but Sarah-Jane received really negative comments and Sarah, lovely as it is, may be too much out of fashion at the moment (Chloe, Sophie still feel younger somehow).

I can't quite make my mind up about Emma.

People said last time that Eva is too popular and there are so many similar names around, I guess it's true.

Jenna is lovely and my favourite out of your list. It's easy to spell, pronounce, feels current and cool and a bit unusual.

Gemma is nicer than Jenna

I would go with Sophie, it's pretty, classy and it suits all ages
