Whats your favorite girl name?

Jennsyn Iva (nickname-Jenn)
Jazzele Iva (nickname-Jazz)
Jordana Josephine (nickname-JJ)

You will be able to change your vote.

I should also mention that my name is Jennifer and I kinda think its neat to have a portion of my name incorporated in Jennsyn also my college mentor's name is Dr. Jensen. My beloved late grandmother's name is Iva. Josephine is the name of someone who has been an absolute blessing in my life.

Hi there.


I really couldn't vote here.


Jordana Josephine is very pretty, & would definitly get my vote, but I just think that JJ sounds so boyish.

I voted for Jennsyn Iva but really really don't like the spelling. Jensen or Jenson in my opinion is better. But, other than the spelling that's an adorable name and I love Iva with it. Great choice.

I couldn't vote here either because I don't like your spellings at all on the first two and I don't like the idea of using JJ as a nickname for a girl.

Thank you so much for your input! I love frankness...I'm a New Yorker! I very unfortunately cannot use Iva as the first name because my sister got to it first! So...I don't know if it's strange to use it as a middle name or not. But both my sister and I were raised by our wonderful grandma, so we both wanted to use it. With her being 11 years younger than me...I thought for sure I'd be first to have a child...but she beat me to the punch and used it for my beautiful niece Iva Keilani!

I really love Jennsyn...wasn't sure about the spelling either...but Jenson seems like a boys name and Jensen seems too much like the last name. So I thought using a "y" would change those 2 things. Maybe Jensyn instead of the 2 "n"s?? Or Jencyn? I don't know...what do ya think?

Jazzele I actually really love because I am a musician...and at the risk of sounding cheesey (which I don't think it is) I would love to call my daughter "Jazz" I really love nicknames in general. Gizele...I just think of the supermodel...no that that's bad, but I picked names for other reasons... And I'm afraid people would call her Giz... :-/

The JJ thing doesn't bother me because it is a nickname...I would mind it being boyish if it were actually her name, it's something I would probably end up calling her since I give everyone a nickname! I love Josephine, but not enough for a 1st name. I am very much open to hearing ALL suggestions even if it completely diverts from my list!

Man, that is tough....


Definitely not Jazzelle...reminds me of gazelle....


Jennsyn is so unique! I loved it! And loved the nickname Jenn. That is what I voted....but...


Hmmm....but I did consider voting Jordana Josephine as I liked that better than "anything" Iva. However, I don't like JJ for a girl. One of my FAV names was Marjorie (Jorie for short). I would vote Jordana if the nickname was Jorie not JJ.

I have to give my opinion on jennsyn because my maidename was jensen, and I know a boy named that. so i definately think jensen and jenson are more male sounding. i like the c in there, some other spellings i thought of are:

Jennsyn would be OK spelled Jensen, I don't particularly care for it, no femininine side to it at all, although I realize they're are girls named that

I really want to use Iva or Josephine as mn because these are the names of very inflential and special people from my life I wish to honor. Iva was my beloved late grandmother who raised me and Josephine was an angel through my life. My college mentor was Dr. Jensen. I like the name spelled with a "y" instead because I believe it looks more feminine. I think taking out one of the "n"s and spelling it Jensyn is better. I also like that with my name being Jennifer, part of my name is sublty within, which I think is kinda neat, but I don't really like the whole Jr thing.

Jazzele of Jazzlyn are names that I really like because I would love to nickname my girl "Jazz". I'm a musician and just love that!

I grew up with a little girl nicknamed JJ and just have really good memories of her.

Jordana is probably my last pick because daddy doesn't care for it.

I also really love the first name Juniper (nn June).
