So there's some "jo-anna" vs. "jo-hannah" going on, but what about "jo-hannah" vs. "jo-hana"? For some reason, if I say the h, I also tend to ignore the second n. And if I ignore the h I don't ignore the second n. Is that just me?

ETA: should have been a reply to the OP

I'm the same as you. If the H is heard, then to me, it can't be pronounced like Anna.
It's either prn like Joanna, or it's Jo-HAH-na. It could still be pronounced Jo-AH-na.

This question puzzles me. A double N vs a single N presents no pronunciation difference to me.

I was thinking like Ana vs. Anna

Oh. No, I pronounce it the same whether with one N or two.
