Thanks. I'm being pedestrian and saying it as, "jo-HAN-uh." It was my great-grandmother's name and that's how she (being Irish) pronounced it.
I know many pronounce it as "yo-HAH-nuh." But I just don't see that as very practical. Then again, as a mn, it wouldn't come up that much so you could get way with the more authentic, exotic pronunciation. I'm just used to, "jo-HAN-uh."
