Re: Joanna
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
I like Joanna very much indeed. In South Africa, Johanna is widely used by Afrikaans parents: there are several possible male variants - Johan, Johannes, Jan - and nicknames like Hanneke for Johanna can be cute. I don't enjoy Joan or Joanne (both seem very dated to me), but I'd be able to live happily ever after with a Joanna daughter.
