would you automatically think porn star? We're struggling to find a girl's name that's not that popular without being too weird. We thought we had one until it popped up as #6 on the top 100 girl's name list from the 2009 census.
(I'm a jennifer and have been referred to by my last name pretty much my entire life!)

The first thing I thought of was the Duggars. lol. Second thought was Jenna Jameson.
I do think it's a pretty name and the kids your DD's age won't know about the porn star. And if an adult comments about it, they're rude. If you love the name, I say go with it!
i automatically think of the porn star and this trampy girl that competed in gymnastics with me. neither are good connotations. sorry.
my first association with the name is DH's ex. then jenna jamison (sp?)

I don't think of a porn star. I knew a few Jennas growing up.
HOWEVER, I would avoid it if your last name starts with a J.
If DS was a girl our name was Jenna Catherine (after my grandmother) I still love the name. At first I did think of Jenna the porn star, but not anymore. I just love the name.
1) one of my bff's sister
2) porn star
Nope. I think of a friend of mine.
I agree with pp'ers that the porn star association would be too old for your DD's generation to get it. I'd say go for it!
I think it's a nice name.
And FWIW, I think it's silly when people don't like a name because they know someone with that name and don't like him/her.

it remind me of DH's ex GF who was quite fond of the blow.
i like the name though.
The only Jenna I "know" is Jenna Jameson so that was the 1st person that came to mind....but who cares?
It's a pretty name and if you like it then use it.
not reading the rest.
yes. i automatically did.
