Neither if you’re not Italian.

'GIOVANNA' can be yelled much more dramatically than Gianna.

I prefer Giovanna.
Gianna feels too much like Liana, Deanna, Breanna etc.

Do you have Italian heritage?

Gianna’s a bit old lady plus the only one I know under 70 is rough as fuck so that may colour my judgement 😳

Giovanna is more elegant and more timeless. I suppose it depends if you’re going to be visiting Italy a lot.

Gianna!

Giovanna screams Italian grandma to me...

Giovanna

It’s lovely - much more elegant than Gianna. I had a fantastic great aunt Giovanna, she had marvellous jewellery!

Gianna ❤️ We have a Gia in our family which is lovely too.
