I need opinions on the name Jenna, is it too dated? Our surname starts with “Mac”

Having a girl in April and our top names we both like are
Heidi
Madison
Maya
none are names I had in mind before pregnancy and keep coming back to them. All honest opinions are welcome! It’s so hard when you want to know friends and family opinions but don’t want toshare your name until the baby is here!

If you love it go for it.
I wouldn't think it was dated.

I always think of this song when I think of that name. It would only be a reminder if you're a fan.
I don't think Jenna is dated and it goes well with a Mac name (as long as it's not MacKenna
).
I like Heidi and Maya. Madison to me seems a bit American high school.
I don't think it's dated at all. I think it's kind of a cool name, instead. I know a young girl at our school called Jenna and I've always admired her name.

Agree Maya or Heidi I prefer over Madison. Madison I think American cheerleader.
My favourite name is Alaska. I also love Autumn, Ivy, willow & indie.
No idea what I'd name a boy!

I feel bad for parents who try to give their children rare, meaningful names these days because papers keep making articles on them and then the names jump in popularity (if they're nice). I've always somewhat resented the omnipresence of english-speakers also because it means our cultural names & symbols are not really ours anymore, this is a given when Americans (who seem to love pinching our old names lol) choose them because they spread all over the globe. I feel bad for the Cornish especially that their names became so popular in the US, especially as they are considered a bit 'trashy' now apparently, like Jennifer is thought of as 'basic'. So sad. They have so few names to pick in the first place.
I don’t even have kids but here’s my list:
Girls:
Noa
Eden
Edith - wouldn’t use it because I feel it’s a little old fashioned so Eden is my replacement i suppose
Kya
Willow
Eva - wouldn’t use this as my sister has an Evie
Nellie / Eleanor
Boys:
Sebastian - this is my favourite name ever
Kit
Casper
Teddy - wouldn’t use this as I don’t know if it will age well
Elio
Finn
Albie

You could have Theodore or Edward and shorten to Teddy so they have the option to go by the full name when they get older.
I like Eden too. Could shorten to Edie. Which is also a lovely name.

Eden is lovely and I know of a boy called it too.
I know an Eleanor known as Nell, which I really like. And a couple of Eleanors and Elinors who are only ever known by their full names.
Im 23 weeks atm and we have an Ada Lily and I really wany Mabel Violet... My husband said absolutely not. Totally hates the name I need something sort of old to go with Ada and Violet has to be the middle name ( I've got a flower theme going on ha!) Does Edie Violet sound nice or Frances Violet? We just cannot seem to AGREE he keeps picking names like charlotte, Robyn, Libby and those are just all a no i do not feel they go with ada nicely.
Sorry for the huge message

I am so stuck with names for both genders - were not finding out.
I like Jude and Isla but other than that I am stuck.
Husband keeps suggesting names like Peter, Toby and Theo.... but I don't like them.
Especially since family members had dogs called Toby & Theo growing up.
I really like short names.... our daughter is only a 4 letter name too.
I think I like names that cant be shortened since my name was always shortened growing up, hardly ever get called my full name by anyone, ever.

Mabel is lovely. Shame hubby doesn't agree and would have gone beautifully with Ada. Have you thought about Alice? Ada and Alice go nicely together. Personally prefer Edie to Frances but that's because I know a Frances.
From a slightly different angle, I was at college with an Eleanor who goes by Poppy, including to her family, because she hates the name Eleanor.
The only Ellie I know is a nickname for Helen.
