Genevieve or Jenna
I love the nickname "Jenn".
That said, which do you prefer: Genevieve "Genn" or Jenna "Jenn"?
Can you think of any other "Jen-" names?thanks so much!

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 USJenna 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!Siri

By saying I haven't met a new JenniferMeans that the name reached its peak, and is now becoming dated. Jenna is always becoming dated. Siri

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".
