HelpRe: Joanna
in reply to a message by Lily
Hi. I quite like the name Joanna personally. While it may contain both Jo and Anna, it's not really the 2 smooshed together, but rather yet another derivitive of John in fem. form...
John Johnna
Jean Jeanne
Juan Juana
Johanne(s) Johanna, Johanneke
Drop the h and you get Joanne, Joan and Joanna.
My combo for this is Kaori Joanna.
I had a friend in school named Joanna (she would have been born in the 70s) and there were a few others (and 1 Johanna) that I went to school with at 1 time or other... My parents are friends w/ a Joanna whom I'm guessing is in her 60s. There's one I know from camp who was born in the 80s. I know of 1 more that was born in the 70s that I met as an adult. I seem to know more Joannes than Joannas.
I agree that it's nice, but not overused. It's tasteful and recognizable without being overdone. My fave is Johanneke, but next would be Joanna.
