[Opinions] Gensia
I heard this name on a little girl at the park, they called her Gensie. It may well be spelled Jensia. Her brother was Robert.

It's interesting, but it seems like something is missing in terms of appearance. Jensia and Gensia both look awkward to me. I'm also not too keen on the sound of it. It's not horrible or anything, though.
