Help[Opinions] Re: Johanna
in reply to a message by gin_rummy
I think the name Johanna covers both John and Juanita namesake-wise.
BTW, I'm American and I pronounce it Johanna as either "yo-HAH-nah" or "joh-HAN-ah" (depending on if I'm using German or English). If you're going to pronounce it like Joanna, it would be in the best interest of pronunciation to use Joanna rather than Johanna. I think it's almost pretentious to pronounce Johanna as though there's no "H" when it's so noticeable and obvious that there's an "H" in the name. JMHO.
Anyways, Sophia Johanna is so noble and regal-looking. A sure winner. :)
