Johanna. Jo-Ann or Joan :sis:

Joanne is not English name but common here and those above are its equivalent that also quite common :poot:

In France I haven't never heard of anyone called Joanne. I met some girls called Joana, Joanna or Johanna. Maybe Jeanne but it's the French equivalent for "Jane". And we have Joan, Johan (pronounced like Joanne) but these are male names, so I guess that French people shouldn't call their daughter Joanne because orally, it would be mistaken as a male name.

You have Joan of Arc.

Yes, that's Jeanne. I just think the most frequent translation of Jeanne in English is Jane.

Are you actually French? I live in France and I know some girls who are called Joanne. And this is totally a girl name. it would sound really really really really really weird if a French boy was called Joanne.

Where ? I have never met any girl called Joanne ! I know at least 3 Johanna though. I know some boys called Johan. That's why I think it would be weird if a woman was called Joanne, because sonically I would assume it's "Johan", so that it's a man. (well, now not exactly, if I hear someone saying "Joanne" or "Johan", my first reaction would be "Are they talking about Gaga's album ? :cryga:")

Where are you from ? Maybe it depends on the region.
