How Jenna sounds
Jenna has two syllables, the most common rhythm for English first names. The last sound of Jenna is a vowel, so the name fades out gently instead of stopping. Jenna is built from soft, running sounds, which this scheme counts as water. Jenna is less common in recent U.S. birth records than it once was, which can make it feel classic or distinctive. In U.S. birth records Jenna has been given mostly to girls.
The Saju view
The opening of Jenna is a hissing, teeth-edge sound, the signature of metal in the pronunciation-element system. Saju listeners hear metal in Jenna, the element tied to autumn and to clarity. Charts with little metal are the ones it answers best. Because metal feeds water in the cycle of generation, Jenna can also help a chart that is short on water, though less directly. If metal is already strong in a chart, Jenna ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
To the ear Jenna sounds water, the element of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn find it a friendly partner. Jenna is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
