Jenna
Opinions on the name "Jenna"? How trendy is this name? How do you think it sounds on a baby, adult, and old lady?

I actually do like Jenna even though it is not at all like my usual style. I don't find it trendy. I think it sounds good on a baby, child, and adult. I'm not sure how it would sound on an old lady though.

I really like this name and DH likes it too. I don't find it trendy at all, not here in Australia anyway. I think it works on a female of any age. Jenna always makes me think of Jenna Elfman and she's in her mid 30's now and it still suits her.

Very pretty, if a touch trendy sounding to me because I only hear it on young girls. I like it so much better than Jennifer, and it still allows for nn Jen, which I think is spunky and fun.

Jenna sounds outdated and boring to me. It's also not my style. It sounds cute on a child but not so good on a adult or old person. Granny Jenna or Grandma Jenna sound out of place.

I like Jenna, quite a bit actually. It's an improvement over Jenny & Jennifer. I also like Jen, but not as much as Jenna.
I think it sounds good on a baby or adult, but not so much an old lady. Jennifer would work well then...

I really, really dislike Jenna, because a million people here are named Jenna and they're all unpleasant. It seems very trendy to me, and it's always pronounced "Jinna" instead of "Jenna," and the J sound in this one strikes me as being too hard, and it's too close to Jennifer, and it seems to me completely unneccessary.
It appears I am alone though :)

I really am biased against Jenna because of the people I've known named this, 3 out of the 4 were mean, but the other one was pretty cool.Here goes. I don't think it's a particularly trendy name as I've heard of it being used fo people in a wide age range, but I have seen it with funky spellings like Jenae, and the like so it is probably slightly trendy. I think its cute on a baby and okay on an adult, but I just can't picture an old lady named Jenna. I don't know why.

I like it. It's cute. If one of my cousins hadn't have died, her name was going to be Jenna. I think it would work well for a baby, an adult, and an old lady. I have considered using it before.

I think Jenna sounds like a nn. I don't see it on an adult at all, only a baby or small child. If it were a pet form of a longer name it would be cute.

I really like Jenna. I babysit a 1-yr-old Jenna and she is just the cutest little girl. So I have no problem seeing it on a baby and child, or even on an adult, as I know an older Jenna too, about 20. So I think yes, it works.I'd probably consider using Jenna if only I didn't know one, so it gets a thumbs up from me.

Jenna reminds me of a sweet 9 year old that lives with her family on the edge of the woods. (I picture her covered in flowers and dirt) But, very pretty.I think this is a very sweet name and I believe it ages well.
