HelpRe: Joanna vs. Johanna?
in reply to a message by khaotickharma
I really like both of them, and can never pick which I like better. I see Joanna with more dark color and Johanna with more warm color, so it depends on my mood.
I'd never expect anyone to pronounced Johanna like jo-AHN-a though. And in Sweeney Todd they pronounce it the same as Joanna anyway, not jo-AHN-a. I think people where I live would say yo-HAHN-a more than like Joanna if they weren't going to pronounce it like Jo+Hanna. I had a friend Johanna all through school and she got yo-HAHN-a sometimes, but never Joanna. But we live in a very Dutch area too.
