I apologize in advance for my gut reaction :) my DH finds this name "exotic" as well and all I can say is that I'm not one for stereotypes, but I think of a country-bumpkin character. It's not a classy name IMO. I know this is not very nice, and again I apologize.
As far as other
Jo names, I like
Johanna,
Jocelyn or even
Josephine (nn
Josie is very sweet, and although this last one is nms, it reminds me of Little Women so it's a good option).
Hope this helps!
