Genevieve, hands down-Jenna, like Jennifer, has become pretty common. I think Genevieve would be just fine on its own, no nn, because of the trouble of saying "no, with a G, not a J"

Jenna is one of my favorite names. Genevieve is very nice too but I prefer Jenna.

Genevieve here in the US

---

Jenna is really over-used. I don't know if it is in Germany. Jennifer is another Jen name, but again in the US its over-used. I haven't met a single new Jennifer!

I like Genevieve over Jenna every time!
Imogen could have a nn Gen... Also, Geneva.

I like the name Genevieve the best.
Other names are Jennifer, Jenny, I like Jenna too.

I much prefer Genevieve. Jenna isn't awful but it's one of those names that strikes me as going to be very dated 15 and 20 years from now.

I do like Jennifer how ever and with the nn Jenny. Jennifer is dated yes but I still think it's a great name and I honestly don't know that many Jennifers. I only about 3.

There's also Ginevra "Gin" and Virginia "Gin". Or Geneva "Gen".

Genevieve or Jennifer :-)

Genevieve all the way!

Genevieve, because it's more classical and solid; it'll age better in the long run than Jenna imo.
