Help[Opinions] Johanna
I remembered this is a character in, "The Hunger Games", but what do you think? Do you like it or do you like Amelia or Brooklyn better?

I prefer Amelia though I like Johanna too - but it's a bit too old-fashioned, at least in the Netherlands. I've only ever seen it used as a middle name or for elderly ladies. I know a 15-year-old Johannes though.
If I'd have to name my kid Johanna I'd use a nickname (Jo or Hanna)

Johanna is streets ahead of Amelia and Brooklyn - in fact, Brooklyn isn't even in the race.
Where I live, the -h- signals the you-a-HUN-ah pronunciation, which is pretty darn boring round here. So I'd prefer it to drop the -h- and become the sleek and strong Joanna.
I must say, I've got no knowledge of Hunger Games at all.

I like Johanna much better than Brooklyn. Brooklyn is a celebrity baby name AND unisex AND a place name, which makes it a triple negative in my book.
Amelia is nice, but I do prefer Johanna. It is stronger and ages better, in my opinion. I like Johanna. Joanna doesn't have the same strength, but is easier for people to spell.
