Help[Opinions] Re: Joan
in reply to a message by oak
Joan calls to mind, for me, not the medieval period, but the 40s and 50s. It hasn't quite made it back to freshness for met yet. (Though I do like Joanie.)
I like other names of that era more, like Sally, Margaret, Helen, Ruth, etc. I just hear "moan" with Joan.
But it's ok. It's got a little, like, "I don't care what you think, Isabella, you frilly princess. I am Joan. I wear black and I like modernist design" so that's cool.
My fave is Joan Imogen, but Joan Eleanor and Joan Matilda are also nice. I'd think I would want to pair Joan with something softer like Susanna or Isabella, but when I see it happen it seems... mismatched somehow.
