The nameberry page doesn't say anything about Cinna--I haven't worked out yet where that connection is being drawn, unless it's just pronunciation. It does mention Ayrton Senna, but not as the genesis of the name. Rather it calls it an Arabic floral name, talks about the herbal use, and mentions it appears in Twilight and Korra: [link] . I don't see why Ayrton would be a big part of the rationale here.
Wouldn't it be nice if a name entry told you when the name came into use--if not in general, at least in Western tradition? I can't work out if Senna has been an arabic name/flower name for centuries, but no one thought to name a girl that until 1930, or what. As the owner of the least-well-researched name (not counting my sister's), I think it's useful for context, if not the actual decision-making.
A lot of baby name books will tell you when the name first came into use, and when and where it was most popular.
"Cinna" makes me think of Julius Caesar.

The name site says it's a girl's name--I'm assuming they have numbers behind that. The page is incredibly low on data, but they do seem adamant on female. It's a female name in Korra (Korra's mother) and in Twilight, so since it's not actually Ayrton's first name, that's two instances of it being a woman's first name and none of a man's.
I know some sources have information--it's just that the one that's the source of this "peak" has got remarkably little where I can find it (and of course, I'm contributing to the peak by looking at the page, since they're not reporting on people being named Senna, just pageviews). How precisely self-feeding, just like they wanted.
More Batman wisdom, this time from Donald Trump:
“Many people have been asking me to review things, especially movies,” Trump says during his opening remarks. “So last night I went to the opening of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ which is commonly known as ‘the Batman movie.’”
I have not watched the clip, as Trump annoys me.

Hey, can someone editty help me right my write wrongs?
I'm not sure how to punctuate parentheses (I swear we just called them brackets--is that a British thing?) properly. If I'm interjecting with a sentence fragment, do I capitalise the first word? What if it's multi-sentence? Do I capitalise the first word then? Do I need to terminate the final sentence with appropriate punctuation? Can I ever put a parenthetical (I guess you couldn't really have a bracketed remark--it does sound lame) remark after a sentence? And then there's no punctuation after that, is there?
I'd need to see the sentence you're trying to punctuate.
