So cute so many possible nicknames
[name_f]Jo[/name_f], [name_f]Joann[/name_f], [name_f]Ann[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_m]Hans[/name_m], nana and [name_m]Jens[/name_m]

[name_m]Hans[/name_m] feels more intuitive to me! Since the “e” of [name_m]Jens[/name_m] doesn’t exist in the version of [name_f]Johannah[/name_f] that’s used where you live, I feel like [name_m]Hans[/name_m] makes more sense. Vibes-wise they’re pretty similar to me! Kind of old fashioned grandpa names turned clunky-cool since they’re being used as nicknames to a feminine name which gives them some fun edge.
