We are stuck, after narrowing down the list (it was a long one) my husband and I have chosen two potential names. Jenna or Natalie. Both go with our last name. We are just intrested in public opinion. Also we will take other name suggestions.

I know they are both on the top 100 list and a little trendy but these are the only two so far we have both agreed on. We have two boys named Zachary and Xavier, want something to along with their names as well

This is a subject close to my heart. I really hope to write a book on the subject of naming babies one day.

When I named my daughter years ago, I gave her a very feminine name, with an unusual spelling. She has grown into a very ladylike young woman, and enjoys the uniqueness that is hers.

Remember when you name your child, that she will grow into her name. If you chose Ethel, chances are she'll be an Ethel when she's older. Jenna or Natalie are beautiful names, and either one will allow your daughter the freedom to be whoever she chooses.

Good luck!

Both are great, but I prefer Natalie. While Jenna sounds beautiful, I always think about Survivor First Season. Plus, I love Natalie Wood.

Natalie is my name and I have always liked it. I never went through that period where kids hate their names. Both Jenna and Natalie are pretty popular right now. What about the middle name? That would help with an opinion.

Talia is beautiful, short for Natalie. Or perhaps combine for Jenalie...? Then nick-names would include Jenna, Jen, Alie, and Lee. Both Natalie and Jenna are nice. I'm not sure either really match your sons names, but then they will have very separate lives as they grow so it may not really matter...
Other nice names: Emma= Whole, universal, Violet= Purple flower , Annika= Very beautiful, sweet faced, Erika= Ever-powerful, complete ruler, Ayla= The oak tree, moonlight, deer, Naomi= Pleasant, beautiful.

Personally I like names you don't hear very often. My sons name is Riley. With the next one I am due in Sept with I was not so lucky on getting a name you don't here so often it will be Christopher. I like both names I do have a friend name Jenna and she is a wonderful person. But my vote is Natalie.

They are both very pretty names but I favor Jenna. I don't have suggestions for other names, but try for a name with a beautiful meaning to them. The meanings can be found in the baby name books which I'm sure you've gone through. When a child grows up, I know they tend to enjoy their name more if there's some kind of meaning to it.

Hi! My name is Lindsay.... I was just reading your question.. I think that Jenna is a beautiful and unique name that isn't trendy, so it will be an appropriate name for the rest of your daughter's life. Natalie is cute, but it seems appropriate mostly for little kids. Good luck!

Both are pretty names, but imo Natalie is more striking and beautiful..and has a 'back bone' that Jenna seems to lack. Jenna is soft and romantic and pretty. Natalie is exotic and not at all 'demure.' Depends of what you like really. Congratulations and happy naming! :-)

Good names, but I like Natalie better. Jenna is a little too common.
