My name happens to be Jetta, and although I have been associated with the car and the name Jenna, I like the fact that no one I know has this name. It makes me feel very unique.

Um, not only is this a car, but it's a car made by the company Hitler founded.
I think Jetta is very pretty. I probably would never use it but it does sound strong and unique. I have to say though, I've heard more boys with this name and it has always struck me as masculine.
I think of someone who has raven black hair when I hear this name. It's quite unusual and kind of pretty. But if I was to use this it would be a character's name. No offense to the few with this name!
Jetta is a *short form* (not a diminutive) of Henrietta (not Henriette). The proper short form for Henriette would be Jette, you see - please see the Submitted Names Database for my entry on Jette.
Also, the Dutch pronunciation of Jetta is: YET-tah. [noted -ed]
On the children's television show, Clifford the Big Red Dog, there is a girl named Jetta. She's "Mac's human" and is a wealthy, self-centered, friend of Emily Elizabeth who is often oblivious to others' feelings. However, her name is pronounced JET-tə.

I always thought this name was just so awesome and cool. When I think of it I picture a tall girl with black hair and a slim frame- really sleek and serious. I prefer the pronunciation JET-tÉ™.
