Mama I'm a Joanne,(born 1971) and, yes, there were loads of us. In my 'A' level French class, there were 5. Plus a Joanna Grin And none of us went by 'Jo', strangely. (Although I hate the name Joanne myself, and have been Jo since leaving school).

A few years later I did admin for a sixth form college and every other girl was called Lauren. If in doubt, call them Lauren it's probably right!
