I prefer Amelia though I like Johanna too - but it's a bit too old-fashioned, at least in the Netherlands. I've only ever seen it used as a middle name or for elderly ladies. I know a 15-year-old Johannes though.If I'd have to name my kid Johanna I'd use a nickname (Jo or Hanna)

Johanna is streets ahead of Amelia and Brooklyn - in fact, Brooklyn isn't even in the race.Where I live, the -h- signals the you-a-HUN-ah pronunciation, which is pretty darn boring round here. So I'd prefer it to drop the -h- and become the sleek and strong Joanna.I must say, I've got no knowledge of Hunger Games at all.

I don't mind Johanna, but prefer Joanna. Out of Johanna, Amelia and Brooklyn I would definitely choose Amelia.

"I feel you, Johanna..."Johanna is a name I've always loved, although it's painfully common in Sweden. I used to know a Johanne, too. I like both Johanna and Johanne.
Amelia is cute, but I'm a bit tired of it. Can't stand Brooklyn.

Johanna is so nice. I have liked it for a long time. It's sweet and strong at the same time. And underused - a bonus! I would choose Johanna over Amelia or Brooklyn any day.

I like Johanna much better than Brooklyn. Brooklyn is a celebrity baby name AND unisex AND a place name, which makes it a triple negative in my book.Amelia is nice, but I do prefer Johanna. It is stronger and ages better, in my opinion. I like Johanna. Joanna doesn't have the same strength, but is easier for people to spell.

I love Johanna! It is one of my all time favourite names! I'm not really a fan of either Amelia or Brooklyn, but out of these two I prefer Amelia.

I really like it, and definitely prefer it to Amelia and Brooklyn. I also like Joanna.

I'm quite neutral about it. I dislike it more than I like it though. Mainly because it's painfully common in my generation where I live. I like Amelia better. It's more classic to me and I just like the sound. Don't like Brooklyn though, it's too trendy and harsh sounding.
