Help[Opinions] But why not simply Sophia Joanna?
in reply to a message by gin_rummy
Why use Johanna if you are going to (mis)pronounce it as Joanna?
Johanna is pronounced as "Yoo-HUN-ah" but I can accept that it would be Joe-hanna in English. But why skip the H?
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
