You're right. We always discuss
Jane,
Jean and
Joanne /
Joanna but never
Joan. I noticed that too and I don't know why. While those others bore me, I really like
Joan NN "
Joanie". I'd use it in an instant if my name wasn't
Johanna.
I think
Joan makes a great middle name too and it's much less of a filler than
Jane.
How about:
Joan AmaryllisJoan ConstanceJoan DorothyJoan FlorenceJoan GretaJoan HarrietJoan MarianJoan Scarlet
Emily JoanHarriet JoanLaura JoanLydia JoanMatilda Joan
One more thing:
Joan NN
Joanie is a blonde name to me, probably because of the movie
Mona Lisa Smile.
