[name_f]Jane[/name_f] for me! I like [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] quite a lot, and I like [name_f]Joanna[/name_f], too, but, when [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] are compared, I do prefer [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I’ve been particularly favoring [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] lately.
I much prefer [name_f]Joanna[/name_f]. It feels spunky. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is so… well, I hate to be cliche, plain.
I adore [name_f]Jane[/name_f]! [name_u]Joan[/name_u] is nice, even [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] has a certain charm, but [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] is just dated.
I voted for [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] because [name_f]Jane[/name_f] has always felt as just a middle name to me! [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] gives you options for nicknames! I would prefer [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] even more but [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] is not bad! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] that helped out a little”
I really like [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I feel like paired with the right middle name it’s so spunky. I also think of [name_f]Jane[/name_f] from [name_m]Tarzan[/name_m] who is sweet, funny, and very smart. I imagine someone with this name to be sturdy and sure of who she is and very witty.
Out of the two I prefer [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. If [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] was [name_u]Joan[/name_u], that would have been my pick though.
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] is one of my favorites!
I like [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] the best.
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f] for me:)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] over [name_f]Joanna[/name_f], but [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] pretty much the same. [name_m]Johann[/name_m]/[name_m]Johannes[/name_m] and [name_u]Jan[/name_u] (all male) are also names I’d use in a heartbeat.
I think [name_f]Jane[/name_f] works well on a girl with a lot of personality and an interesting look–the contrast is fun.
I wouldn’t personally use [name_f]Jane[/name_f] because I feel like my kid will likely be white with brown hair and brown eyes and a somewhat subdued personality. Naming her [name_f]Jane[/name_f] would seem like exacerbating the genetic expectation
Purely from an aesthetic point of view though, I prefer the name [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. But that could be because I’ve never met anyone I liked named [name_f]Joanna[/name_f].
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] by far but I have a negative personal affiliation with [name_f]Joanna[/name_f].
