[Opinions] Joan
What do you think of Joan for a girl? It hardly been used in a very long time, and how I'd love to see it make a little comeback! I've been really liking it because it has that retro feel, but I could still see it on a little girl (plus, Joanie as a nickname makes my heart melt).
So, do you think it's too old-school to bring back just yet? Maybe I could stick to it as a middle name - Veronica Joan?
Thanks in advance. :)

I love Joan! And I don't think you should relegate it to a mn position; while it does make a nice mn, it almost seems too fillerish to me there. Maybe it's because it only has one syllable. But anyway, I like it as a first name and that's where I would use it!
Joan was a favorite name of mine as a little girl. I think it's adorable as a fn, and Joanie is cute. And it would always make a lovely MN
I didn't used to like this at all. I never thought it would work on a young person until I started watching Joan of Arcadia (a fabulous show...may it RIP) Seeing pretty young Amber Tamblyn called Joan really made me see it in a different light.
I think it would make a bold choice for a first name. As a middle name, it's pretty 'blah' to me. I don't tend to like predictable middle names. Scoop them out front and they become fresh and new again. Marie, Rose, Anne, Jane, Joan...all make fabulous first names.

It is not really a favorite of mine but I agree that 'Joanie' is cute and it sounds very nice as a mn w/ Veronica. Good Luck!

I have a friend named Joan but I never liked this name. Maybe it's the spelling that bothers me, I don't know, but I'd never use it. However, I think it makes a great mn that could practically go with anything.

I'm not too keen on it being on littl egirls just yet but as I middle name it would be great!
