Joanna, Johanna, Josephine or Josephina?

Replies

Josephine. I think it’s a lovely name and the nickname Josie is pretty cute. Josephina is nice pronounced the Spanish way.
Josephina I always read the Spanish way with an H sound. That makes it more palatable to me than the J way.
Joanna followed by Johanna. I've never much care for Josephine but I couldn't really tell you why honestly. Bit I do always like to see Joanna and Johanna
I like Joanna very much and might consider it IRL. Johanna has the European pronunciation here - you'aHUNah - which I quite like but wouldn't use. I'm fine with Joseph for a boy: had a wonderful Uncle Joe! But Josephine fails to interest me, and Josephina is worse. I really dislike the rhythm.
Josephine all the way. Johanna (yo- pron.) is not bad though.

Josephine > Josephina > Joanna > Johanna
Best to worst: Josephina (really like), Josephine (like), Joanna and Johanna (don't like).
If Josepha were included, that would be last.
