Another Jonna is Jonna Mendez, a veteran CIA field agent who was also Chief of Disguise at one point. Her husband was Tony Mendez (of Argo fame). Her videos for Wired and other channels are fascinating!I think of this name as: ✔ Feminine without being frilly. The -a ending gives it a flair without being sickeningly sweet or overly cutesy.
✔ Strong and confident. Jonna sounds like someone who knows what she wants and works hard for it.
✔ A nice tribute to a dad, grandfather, etc with the name John/Jon
✔ Fresh and underused.
✔ A good name for all ages, from baby to older adult.

I'm starting to like this name a lot. Except I like it as a feminine form of Jonathan or John and pronounced JAHN-ah.

I really think this name is a bit too youthful for grown-ups. It's very common in my age group (I was born in 1985), and women named Jonna are going to wish they had a more mature name by the time they're 40, I'm sure.

Jonna sounds simple and sweet. Uncommon but not unusual. Very Swedish.
