[Opinions] Re: Gemma and Jenna
in reply to a message by Bear
I don't know exactly how much history is to it, but it has to have been around at least 80-90 years. Laura Bush's mother's name is Jenna, and I believe Laura is close to 60. So, that would make her mother between 80 and 90.As for usage in literature, movies and such, I haven't a clue. I watch a lot of old movies and I don't think I've ever heard the name used.

Well, look at the charts for a minutehttp://www.behindthename.com/top/search.php?terms=jennain America, at least.
So even if it's been around for a long time, it's definitely got a very modern feel. Same with Lauren http://www.behindthename.com/top/search.php?extra=p&terms=lauren&submit=Go and Tessa http://www.behindthename.com/top/search.php?extra=p&terms=tessa&submit=Go .
