Interesting as always. You fitted a lot of information into a small space; I would have liked to see when Joanna and Joanne entered the charts, and why.

Thanks -- it is really a small number of words to discuss the history of a name that's been used for centuries. This particular column is actually a bit longer than normal -- they let me go about 40 words over my limit just so I could include the paragraph about the Hispanic male name Joan. :)

I actually prefer Joan on boys. Because it sounds like Joe but with an N. I prefer the Spanish pronunciation as well. Zho-ahn. Its handsome.
