Help[Opinions] Re: How would you pronounce..
in reply to a message by CN
I say Yo-han. It's not commonly used in English speaking countries, so I'd be inclined to use Yo and say the H, as I'm aware it's said elsewhere.
I've never actually heard Jo-hanna, so I always assumed the H just wasn't said in English. And the only place I can recall hearing Johanna (and knowing that was the spelling) did say it as Jo-anna, so I never had reason to question it. That is, until I was deciding between the two names. The value of research haha.
