When I see Genna my first thought is to pronounce it with a hard G like in Gabrielle, GEN-ah. But my inner name nerd knows it must be a kre8yv version of Jenna. Whilst I don't hate the spelling, just be aware that it will be mispronounced most of her life. Genevieve nn Genna would be *gorgeous*.

Anyway, suggestions:
Genna Rose
Genna Maeve
Genna Lior
Genna Lee
Genna Quinn
Genna Carys
Genna Penelope
Genna Veronica
Genna Lorelei
Genna Millicent
Genna Claire
Genna Willow
Genna Bethany
Genna Miriam
Genna Mary
Genna Marie
Genna Grace
Genna Hope
Genna Felicity
Genna Olive
Genna Daisy
Genna Xanthe
Genna Madeline
Genna Sophie
Genna Sian
Genna Bridget
Genna Talia
Genna Zoe

I like Genna Amalia.

Why Genna, may I ask? When I see names like it, my first instinct is always to use a hard G (as in Gilligan), unless it's short for something like Genevieve. Jenna would be a far easier name to live with, I think (and I find it more aesthetically appealing, personally, but that's just me).

I'm not sure what sorts of names you're looking for, so some random ideas:

---

Genna Desiree
Genna Marian
Genna Lauren
Genna Bridget
Genna Calypso
Genna Winifred
Genna Noreen
Genna Wren
Genna Fleur
Genna Ivy
Genna Cleo
Genna Ruby
Genna Hilary
Genna Regina
Genna Callisto
Genna Colleen

Array (doesn't help that she sees Genna and thinks "Barefoot Gen," one of the most harrowing after-the-atom-bomb films she's ever seen)
