Help[Opinions] Re: Johanna
in reply to a message by Billina
I like it when it's pronounced yo-HAN-na which is its original pronunciation. I dislike it when it's pronounced to sound like Joanna. I love Joanna but Johanna pronounced as Joanna was always weird to me. Why is the H silent all of a sudden? It's fine for me to pronounce it as jo-HAN-na but swallowing the H just seems odd to me.
So I like it in the pronunciations that include the H and dislike it when the H is forgotten. I do like Joanna, though.
But I wouldn't use it, in German speaking countries it was crazy common for some time and is still very popular. I always knew several at the same time.
