Thoughts on Johanna? I've never really considered it before but DH parents are called John and Jean & mine are John and Jane. We thought that it might be similar enough to be a nice nod to them?

What's your preferred spelling also? Joanna? Johannah? Johanna?

Middle name suggestions? So far we have Johanna Eden & Johanna Iris.

I've posted another thread about the difficulties we have agreeing on names.

Really dislike it. Boring and dated. I don't think I've ever known one who thinks, wow, what a gorgeous name I've got.

Johannah will mainly be pronounced yo-Hannah as it is the Swedish spelling. If you want the j pronounced spell it Joanna.

I love Johannah.

Johannah Kate
Johannah Grace
Johannah Clare
Johannah Rose
Johannah Louise

I like it, but wonder if it's one of those names that will forever need to be corrected from Joanna to Johanna.

Would you use it as a middle name instead? That way your nod to the parents is there without it being the primary name.
