WDYT of our names

flerlgirl

We have known since we were dating what our children's MNs would be - Joy for a girl and Michael for a boy as they are both family names. We recently decided what we want for first names: Jenna if it's a girl and Cooper if it's a boy. What do you think? If you know of any negative associations with these names please let me know... our last name starts with an E and has three syllables. Also if you just plain hate them let me know that, too And if you love them feel free to send me candy and other gifts.

I like Jenna, and I like Joy.  Together they're a really alliterative "Jenna Joy."  Eh -- this seems weird to me.  It's a little sing-songy.

Cooper happens to be my neighbor's dog's name, but I wouldn't think it was too weird to use it as a boy's first name.  It's pretty trendy, right now, to make first names out of traditional last names.

All that being said, I actually like Cooper Michael.

Jenna is fine, just NMS. I don't really care for names dated to this particular era. I like Joy, but it doesn't have the best flow with the fn of Jenna.

I like Cooper. Cooper Michael is nice.

I worried about the alliteration a little, too - my hubby loves it but I don't want it to be too much. Thanks for the input!

I should also mention that we picked Jenna after a dear friend. I wouldn't mind changing Joy - it's a family name and it's pretty but I don't know which I would rather have.

I dislike the name Jenna, and think it sounds really bad paired with Joy. I could go with it since it is after someone, but still don't like it with joy.

The only Coopers I've known are all dogs. I know 4 dogs with that name, so it's a turn off for me.

I like Cooper Michael it flows good but I do not like the way Jenna Joy sound together.

I thought the same thing.  Jenna is okay and Joy is okay, but put together just seems like a porn name.

I really like Cooper Michael.

Love Cooper Michael! Jenna is nice but NMS. Jenna Joy is too Disney/Cartoon character for me..

I really like Cooper and I like Jenna.

 What about Genevieve for your little girl and using Jenna as the nn?

Love Jenna--but not sending you anything :-)  To me Cooper is a last name, not a first name.

Thanks for the feedback! The Jenna Jamison thing did cross my mind... I know I won't be calling her by all three names all the time but I don't want her to get teased. 

 

Maybe he'll just be a boy and I can stop worrying about it

Jenna Jameson and Anderson Cooper are the only associations I can think of for either.
