HelpRe: Johanna
in reply to a message by Billina
I never know how to pronounce it, whether the h is silent or not; I've heard it both ways.
I do really like Joanna, it's very bright and pretty but not fussy.
If it's Yo-Ha-Na, I don't like it at all.
Jo-Han-na feels affected.
But Jo-Ann-A is nice.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

I agree with this pretty much, except I don't dislike the yo-hah-nah pronunciation... I just think it's out of place outside Germany and the Nordic countries.
