They’re especially wonderful if they were born in 1969 Grin

My dd is Joanna. She was born in 1974 and is lovely in every way :)

Yes yes - all Joanna’s I’ve known are brill

All the Joannas I've ever known were in high school in the mid-2000s and they all bullied me. Can't say I've met an adult Joanna but I can't feel warm toward the name...

I don't think I've ever met a Joanna Confused

TemptressofWaikiki · 02/06/2018 23:31

Nope, my ex neighbour was called Joanna and was a complete shitgibbon.

UrsulaPandress · 02/06/2018 23:31

Nope. The one I know is, erm, ok.

NotTheMrMenAgain · 02/06/2018 23:34

The one at work is quite whiney and annoying....

TheWoollybacksWife · 02/06/2018 23:34

The Joanna i know was born in the 1990's and is an utterly wonderful person. Smart, funny, loyal and hardworking.

Joanna the Mad wouldn’t let her husband (Philip the Fair) be buried. She just took his coffin around everywhere peeping at it every so often.

But she was strictly a Juana. And probably not even mad, just accused of it by her husband/sons who wanted to rule bits of Spain which were rightfully hers.

Err NO! I have a relative who is a Joanna & she's a nasty lying bitch who is a terrible parent to her kids & thinks its ok to rip off elderly relatives! Total SCUM! Angry

I used to go to an adult ballet class with a lovely Joanna (probably born early 80s or late 70s), she was doing a PhD in something ecology related and had really bad hay fever that the dr had told her to drop out.
She stopped doing ballet after a while and I’ve always wondered if she managed to finish her studies.

Dd's form tutor = great
Joanna Denehy the serial killer = not so much

Queenoftheblitz · 02/06/2018 23:54

Two of my friends are called Joanna and both are wonderful.
One of them I call "a lass unparalled".

hadenough · 02/06/2018 23:56

I can't stand that Joanna Lumley woman.

AgathaRaisonDetra · 02/06/2018 23:59

I think Agatha is a much better name.

Sommelierrrr · 03/06/2018 00:05

The one i know is a megatwat.

madhamsters · 03/06/2018 00:13

My sister is Joanna and was born in 1969 - she's ace!

honeylulu · 03/06/2018 00:14

Husband's ex wife is a Joanna. And a Cunt.

IslaBoots · 03/06/2018 00:14

I know a Joanne who I went to school with. She was nothing more than a bully.

I also know 2 Joannas. Neither will appear on a billboard as the caring type. One is my sil. Rotten to the core. The other is my neighbour. A loud, crass, unpopular girl who thinks she's all that. She's not! 😏

NumbersLetters · 03/06/2018 00:18

Delighted to have learned the term 'shitgibbon' tonight. My mate are school was Joanna. Gentle, wise soul. Born in 1965. I've a lovely helpful funny colleague who's Jo, I have never wondered what the full version is. Etb 1978.

Yippeeeeee · 03/06/2018 00:57

Worked with one. Total. Nightmare.

snufflehuff · 03/06/2018 01:09

No, the biggest bullying bitch I've ever known was a Joanna. God she was an awful person.

snufflehuff · 03/06/2018 01:10

The one I knew was born in 1984.
Evil cow.

InkSnail · 03/06/2018 01:37

I knew an insincere one and a slightly pretentious one. I know a lovely Joanne though.

imweirdandcool · 03/06/2018 04:01

Never met a Joanna I liked they have always been quiet and annoying
(Not saying you're just what I have come across)
