I like Joanna. It's quiet, strong, and feminine but free from frill. I know two. One would have to be around 35 by now, and the other is in her 70s, I'm guessing. The older one spells it Johanna with a silent H; I don't care for that. I also know a Johanna, pron. like Jo+Hannah, who's 6.

I'd be a little afraid to use Joanna if I didn't at least like Jo and Anna. Really obvious nicknames are the hardest to prevent.
