ArchivesJohanne - a French name?
My exercises for French class mentioned a Johanne (female). I looked it up on the database and it is listed as a Danish and Norweigan name. Is it also used in France, or was my textbook just running out of French names to use?
If it is used in France, how is it pronounced there? My first instinct was to say yo-HAHN, and someone else said jo-ANN, but it probably makes the most sense said zho-AHN/zho-HAHN (with a soft French J as in Jean).

"Hal, your shirt is very nice today. So is your ass." - Bryce, on sexual harassment in the workplace.
"I laugh in your face because you're wrong!" - Diane, on love and the military.
