What do you think of Joanna as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

like it. Not commomnly used at present, feminine without being too fussy, classic, nice shortenings (Jo etc). Good name

Love Joanna! Biblical.

It seems a bit '80's' to me, was very popular when I was at school. Though thinking about it there were more Joanne's than Joanna's.

Not overly popular now though as far as I know, and it's a nice name.

Lovely name.

Nice, I prefer Johanna, but that's just me being picky.

Lovely, and not overused ATM.

You can't have it cos my 11yo dd1 has already chosen it for her baby (in, obviously, at least 20 years time!)
