I really like Vanessa. My cousin who is 1 is named Vanessa Claire. I don't think it is old fashioned at all. I love the nn Nessa or Nessie

I love my crazy family, Kourtney, Kiley, Keegan, and Kendra

Vanessa is quite pretty, but I personally wouldn't use it. It's nice for someone else's child though. I don't think it's too old fashioned at all. I think it's a name that's ripe for revival actually. I'd probably use the nn Nessa. I also like Jenna and Jamie. Both are great names.

I love Vanessa.
Nn's include Nessa, Ness, Vanna, Vannie, Essie
Jenna and Jamie are okay. I love Jamie on a boy, as a nn.

Sorry, but they all ring '90s to me. Vanessa is one of those names that just fades into the background. I don't like Jenna mostly because of its relation to Jennifer, but also because it just sounds like a bratty girl who snaps her chewing gum too loudly while on her cell phone, which she is rarely without. Sorry. Jamie is just boring to me.

I don't think Vanessa is old-fashioned at all. I like Vanessa because of its meaning, it being a V name, and because it reminds me of Vanessa Carlton. I think it's cute, but it's versatile and will age well.

I wouldn't use any nns for Vanessa if I had a daughter named this besides the occasional affectionate Van or Nessa or Ness.

---

I don't like Jenna at all. It makes me think of names like Tiffany and other trendy 80's names.

---

I like Jamie. For some reason, I always have. I like it as a girl's full name. I think of the Weezer song "Jamie". =)

Neither Vanessa nor Jenna strikes me as old-fashioned at all.

---

Vanessa isn't really my style, but it's quite pretty. I like Jenna a lot.

---

I think Jamie is cute as a nickname for a boy names James. I don't really like it as a full name or on a girl.

Sorry but I can't stand Vanessa because of personal reasons, though I never realy liked it much anyway.

---

---

I like Jamie but I prefer Jaimee only for a girl :)
