Joan

[SneezyEvie]

Is this name coming back? I’ve seen it suggested in a few threads.

It’s my darling nan’s name so would love to know if anyone knows of any little Joans?

I like Joni, Joanna, Jean.

LOVE Josie. 💖 One of my faves.

I know a 2yr old Joan, who gets Joni as a nickname, and i also know an 8yr old whose full name is Joni. I really like both, OP, and if its after your nan, you should go for it 😊

I’ve known a Joan who would be in her early 40’s now who goes by Joani which is nice.

I know a 5 year old Joni.

Joan is a very nice name. Excellent choice.😃

Ooh, Joan Crawford, Joan Collins, Joan Baez and Joan Ferguson. All legends in their own way.

Joan is such a cool name.

I don’t like it but then I am over 40. June is nice. Jean is OK.

I can’t imagine a baby Joan, but then I couldn’t imagine calling a baby Elsie or Edith…and here they are.

Me being from the younger generation Joan had always been an old lady name to me I wouldn't call my baby that

I have a 2 year old Joan.

Sounds too much like moan.

Jean is nice.

Lovely name

I love it, Jill too!

I like Joan, Jean, Jane and Janet. i also like Jill (but am not keen on Gillian).
Joanie/Joni is fab.

I have a cat called Joan.

My dd middle name is Joan. After dh gran really but now she is 10 and getting into music she tells her friends she is named after Joan Jett!

It's classic, but I don't really like it, Jane or Jean are both better imo.

I suppose Joni is quite cute.

I met a toddler Joan at a children's activity recently. Thought it was pretty great actually. Guess younger parents aren't seeing it as so much of an old lady's name.

I like this! Good nicknames Jo / Joni, with beautiful and strong associations such as Joan Fontaine, Joan Crawford and Joan Didion. Strong name.

I like it. My cousin Joan was known as Joey.
