Suggestion on a name: 'Jenna' or 'Jenny'/'Rachel' or 'Rachelle'?

Question

(Rachelle pronounced like Rachel).

I know the names are extremely similar but I just want to know other people's opinions on which one sounds/seems better. These names have nothing to do with a specific person .. just an opinion on which you prefer.

Thanks! :)

Answer 1

I like Jenna better, because its more fresh, pretty and cute. Jenny reminds me of a middle aged lady with four kids. Also, you can nickname Jenna to Jenny if you want.

I'd definitely go for Rachel. Its more traditional, classic and sophisticated. Rachelle will very often be pronounced ra-shell, and if people no her name is Rachel without the spelling they'll mis spell it.

Hope that helps! :)

Answer 2

Jenna Rachelle

Answer 3

I say Jenna over Jenny. If she wants her nickname to be Jenny then you can still use it.. but it's not a good idea to give your kid a nickname as a name. And I personally think Jenna sounds/looks prettier than Jenny.

As for Rachelle vs Rachel, I vote for Rachel... it will make it much easier on her, not having to tell people how to spell/pronounce her name. Although Rachelle is very pretty and different looking, I still think Rachel would be the wiser and more considerate choice! haha.

Answer 4

Jenna/Rachel

Answer 5

Jenna is a trendy name and Jenny is more classic. I prefer Rachel for that reason as well. Rachelle will be pronounced Rah shell.

Answer 6

I love Jenna more than Jenny and Rachel more than Rachelle.

Don't put too many letter in a name that do not need to be there...it will not make sense to the child when it is time to teach them to write and also when they learn about phonics and suddenly ask why their name doesn't make sense- and yes, it has happened to me at least once a year by a child.

Answer 7

well my first name is Jennifer....and I've always spelled Jenny w/an ie not a y.
(my dad is the only person on the planet in which i will allow to call me Jennie). i actually go by Jae which is just my first initial spelled out phonetically.

as for Rachelle/Rachel
Rachelle will always look like Ray-shell to me (which is a pretty name too).
i prefer the traditional Rachel or even Rachell w/out the E on the end.

Answer 8

I prefer Jenna to Jenny, and I like Rachelle better than Rachel if it is pronounced Ruh-shell. If you are going to pronounce them both Ray-chel, however, go with Rachel.

Answer 9

I like Jenna & Rachel

Answer 10

Jenna and Rachel.
