To sign the name Jenna, you will fingerspell each letter. Start by forming a 'J' with your dominant hand, extending your pinky and tracing a hook shape in the air. Then, smoothly transition through the letters 'E', 'N', 'N', and 'A' to complete the name.
To sign this, you will first sign 'MY FRIEND NAME', and then carefully fingerspell J-E-N-N-A. Make sure to keep your hand steady and clearly form each letter so the person you are talking to can easily read the name.
Start by fingerspelling J-E-N-N-A, then sign 'COME PARTY'. Because this is a yes/no question, remember to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly at the end of the sentence. Don't forget to slide or bounce the 'N' to show the double letter.
Begin by establishing the timeframe with the sign for 'YESTERDAY', then sign 'I MEET', and finally fingerspell J-E-N-N-A. When introducing a proper name into a conversation, it is best to fingerspell at a moderate, consistent pace rather than rushing through the letters.

Name signs are uniquely given by the Deaf community to individuals based on their personality, habits, or appearance. There is no universal sign for the name Jenna. Unless you know a specific Jenna who has been given a name sign, you should always fingerspell her name.
To show a double letter in fingerspelling, you should not simply hold the letter for twice as long. Instead, you can either give the 'N' handshape a slight, quick bounce or slide your hand slightly outward to the side to indicate the second 'N'.
No, you should avoid mouthing the individual letters J-E-N-N-A. Instead, it is helpful to naturally mouth the full word 'Jenna' as you fingerspell it. This provides additional context and makes it easier for the person watching to understand the name you are spelling.
