Share Your Thoughts 15 Comments Jenna Richardson Jun 1 at 1:01 pm I’m a ” Jenna”. Probably one of the first according to my mum, who saw the name on a Cornish baby names book back in 1977! I’ve often been mistaken for Jemma/ Jenny which I loath. Im often called Jen/J ( like, my name isn’t already short enough!!?) I was always told that my name derived from Jane/Guinevere… very Cornish ledgend !! We have a lot of janes in our family, so this was a good alternative. I’ve very rarely known any others with my name which is great to be unusual!! Reply jenna Dec 12 at 1:36 pm my name! Reply Carol Nov 30 at 12:52 pm My daughter’s name is Jenna. I liked that it wasn’t an overly common name in 2002 when she was born and it still isn’t. I think that it was the perfect name for my daughter as she is a very kind, caring, and personable individual. Reply jenna Mar 1 at 11:02 am there lied to u named u Jenna born Jennifer have a look jenna is short for Jennifer Reply Jenna Jun 1 at 10:58 pm Ooooh you are angry girl Reply Jenna Jul 15 at 10:55 pm My mother’s first choice was Jennifer, but her sister claimed that was her pick for her future daughters name. So my mother loved it so, and the TV Show Dallas, which was popular in the early 80s, so Jenna is what she decided to name me. Jenna Ray. Ray after Raymond, her grandfather, my great grandfather. So when I had a daughter of my own, #1 to keep it as close to mine as I could, and #2 I had a best friend named this in the 1st grade & she moved, to never see her again ?, but I named my daughter Lena Rae, just like my friends name. ? Reply Jenna Rose May 15 at 2:19 pm I’m also named after Jenna Wade on Dallas! Reply jenna Jun 1 at 11:01 pm Same!! The first man that proposed to me had the last name Wade. That’s when I learned I was named after jenna wade. I said no thanks to him though lol Reply Bonnie May 13 at 7:58 pm My mother’s name is Donna and my husband’s mother’s name is Jennifer. We put them together to make Jenna because we didn’t want to name her partial to any one side of the family. I love the name Jenna! So many fun songs, nick names, and sweet moments come out of it.
