[Opinions] Joanne and Joanna
What do you think of these names? I think of 60+ year old women who work as secretaries in elementary schools which is great, of course, I can't believe that there are baby Joannas out there.

I like Joanna but prefer the spelling Johanna. I don’t like Joanne that much.

I dislike the sound of Joanne. Joan would be better, but of the three, I'd rather use Joanna.

I like Joanna, but Joanne was an okay name for me

Joanna is timeless and classically beautiful. Joanne, on the other hand, is dated and evocative (for me) of suburban moms.

I know a Joanne and a Joanna who are both around 40 now and my mother has a cousin Joanna who will be around 50 now. I would be a little surprised to meet a baby Joanna but pleasantly so as I think it’s an underused gem.
