I’ve been thinking about adding [name_u]Joan[/name_u] to my list, but I’m also a huge fan of [name_f]Joanne[/name_f] and [name_f]Joanna[/name_f]. What name do you prefer and why?

I love [name_f]Joanna[/name_f]. [name_f]Joanne[/name_f] and [name_u]Joan[/name_u] feel dated to me. I like “[name_u]Jean[/name_u]” as a middle name which is similar.

I just think [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] sounds really sweet. :slight_smile:

Joanne is kind of dated, and [name_u]Joan[/name_u] is a little lackluster for me.

Joanna! It has bounce to it

Joan feels very old fashioned much like the traditional names [name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], etc. Might just be me but it feels very of the times

[name_f]Joanna[/name_f], definitely! Wholesome, sweet, melodic and so underused. Plus, the adorable nicknames [name_f]Jo[/name_f] or [name_f]Jojo[/name_f]. [name_f]Joanne[/name_f] is very dated to me. [name_f]Joan[/name_f] I think would make a fabulous middle or tough, cool-sounding unexpected first name but [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] is what I would use personally
