I agree with the boomer mentality.

---

Of this whole slew of names, the two I like the most are Joan and Joanna, and Josephine isn't bad.

---

But none of these are particularly pleasant to my mind.

I'm a sucker for the name Joanne, but I really don't like the nickname "Jo" on a girl. In full, Joanne and Joanna are absolutely gorgeous, in my opinion!

I like Jo for Josephine

Joannie and Jo would work as nns for Joanne, Joanna and Joan.

I dislike Joanne and, indeed, Diane: they both sound whiney. I like Joanna very much, but it would take great determination to go by Joanna and not, yes, Joannie or Jo. Like Elizabeth, I think I'd only consider Joanna as a mn.

Joanne and Joanna were popular in my generation Gen X, Joanna is still nice

I find them all very dull.

Joanne is favorite on this list. Joanna is pretty too.

Joanne and Joanna were popular with my generation which is millennial not boomer. I prefer Joanna to Joanne.

Joanne is too solidly of my generation for me to be that interested in it. However I love Joanna, it’s a bit more old-fashioned. Joannie is a cute nickname. Jo is fine but overused.

In Polish the nn for Joanna is Asia, because that makes any sense. :/
