Jenna?

[Elsandbels]

Hi, after many many years of trying, much loss and heartache DH and I finally have a gorgeous baby girl who is now 4 days old. Before she arrived we rarely discussed names, I think out of fear something would go wrong. She is very likely to be our only child.
I love the name Jenna, I’m not exactly sure why but I think it’s gorgeous. DH likes it too but is worried it’s a little dated.
We have discussed other names but none feel quite right.
Middle name will be either Helena, Alexandra, Elizabeth or Paulina (grandparents names or twists on grandparents names).

Thoughts?

Jenna is nice!

Jenna Alexandra sounds lovely.

Jenna is lovely name as long as your surname isn't Taylor

Ah no I’ve just realised I’ve posted this on the wrong board! I meant to post it on baby names!! I’ll blame sleep deprivation!

Love it!

I like it, if you love it then go for it. Jenna Elizabeth is lovely. Congratulations.

Congratulations!

Jenna is a very pretty name!

Depending on surname Jenna Elizabeth might work best to avoid two “a” sounds at the end but all the suggested names are lovely.

Jinx!!!

Congratulations!

Jenna is very pretty- much more prevalent in the US.

It took me a minute!

I think Jenna Elizabeth is lovely. Congratulations!!

Beautiful name. Also vote Jenna Elizabeth

It is dated. My cousin is late 30s with that name and it was all the rage back then.

Go with one of the classics. Alexandra is lovely. Alex, Ali, Lexi, etc plenty of NNs.

Elizabeth and Helena too are lovely.

Love the name but definitely not Helena as the middle name. Too much risk of them being pronounced to rhyme, even if the intention is for the other pronunciation of Helena.

I know plenty of little Jenna's so wouldn't consider it dated.

😂😂

Thank you everyone. Jenna Elizabeth probably does flow best, MIL will be over the moon!

Again sorry for posting on the wrong board, I really didn’t mean to!

Congratulations!

Jenna Elizabeth is pretty
I suppose it is a bit dated but I don’t think that matters if you both love it

I went to school with someone with that exact name!

Congratulations, OP! I usually cringe a little bit at the names suggested for babies, but I think Jenna is lovely and not dated at all. I agree that Helena might not be the easiest of middle names to pair with it, but really, how often are people's entire names used? Any of the middle names are good.

I love it!

Elizabeth and Alexandra work really well. I know a couple of grown up Jenna’s.

Congratulations!
I'm not keen on Jenna, but I remember watching Dallas in the 1980s.

It will get said as Jenner if the name after it starts with a vowel.

I love Jenna, have a niece with the name.

Congratulations! Jenny is a lovely name.

The only comment I would make is that my mind instantly went to Edward Jenner, the scientist, but that is no bad thing.
