Now after your post and reconsideration, I’m kinda digging it, for other peoples’ boys, anyway. Jetta would actually be a name worthy of serious consideration, and a great alternative to Jenna, were it not for the car of the same name. I guess if I really loved it I wouldn’t let that stop me (or so says the mother of two children who share monikers with stores at the mall).

Anyway, Jett sits at #82 down here, so he’s almost common, especially in the under-5s category! Despite his interesting history – I’d assumed he was a modern moniker – I don’t like Jett. To my ear, he seems harsh and a bit too nouny – almost like a more usable name similar to Rebel or Bandit! He’s just not for me, I suppose.

Though, the James Dean reference definitely doen’t hurt!
