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.

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.
