[Opinions] Re: Joanna vs. Jocasta
in reply to a message by Pickles
I don't mind Jocasta and I don't immediately think of the Oedipus myth. But I love Joanna; it's probably my favourite fem form of John, and I'd use it as a fn if I could be confident that it wouldn't shorten to Jo. Which I couldn't be, so I'd use it as a mn instead. Jocasta doesn't suggest pleasing short forms: Jo? Joke? Cassie? Nah.
