As always around christmas I watched one of my favorite movies "
Love, Actually". Two characters in it are named
Joanna (well, one of them is dead) and it has been growing on me a lot. I have known about three Joannas from Germany, a
Joana from Germany and a
Joanna from New Zealand as well as an English
Joanna and an American
Joanna. Still it seems uncommon. The ones I know are far apart in age and live in different countries so I think it would be an underused, lovely choice.
What do you think? It's kind of weird because I don't really like
Jo or
Anna but I do like
Joanna. Do you think it's plain? Because it is simply
Jo and
Anna combined I sometimes find it a bit boring and unattractive, but at the moment I like it.
Too common? It shortly made the top 100 in the 80s. How many do you know and how old are they?
