I LOVE my name! It is simple enough to where if someone is reading it, they can't mess it up, yet unique in its own way. I have delt with the whole, 'Is Jenna your real name, or is it Jennifer❤️' thing my whole life, but I guess its okay because I get to let them know I actually have the coolest name ever! :)To all you Jenna's out there: Be proud of your name! Make sure everyone knows that yes, we are 'Jenna' not 'Jenny' or 'Jennifer.' We have the best name in the world! :)

I know how people always say to us Jenna's, "Is your name short for Jenna❤️" Well, they only said that once ore twice when I was a kid but I don't know why they don't say it now but I'm glad about It. I always thought of my Name unpopular and never used but today on an episoed of a show that i like, I heard a girls name is Jenna and my heart stopped, not really but you know what i mean. My mom named me after famous actress, Jenna Elfman and thats cool 'cause I want to be a actress when I grow up to. if you want your kid to be a cool name, name it Jenna for the people that are named Different. By the way, my name is Jenna Pito if you ever see it on TV or the news or something!

I was the only Jenna that went to my highschool and I loved it. You didnt need to ask my last name, you just knew who i was =) Although many people have called me Jenny, Jennifer, and Gina. Which is frustrating but comes with the territory of a wicked cool name I guess =)
