Jovanna - WDYT?

HAFranklin

A family friend of ours just had a baby girl and named her Jovanna. Joe-vah-nah

Just wondering what the general consensus is. I like it! Definitely different. And it breaks the "ayden" naming trend that our friends/family have jumped on. (The last 3 babies born before this one were Zaiden, Aidan, and Braeden. Actually, now that I think of it, little Jovanna's brother is named Kaden lol)

It looks like a misspelling of Giovanna to me.

It's cute, but NMS.

I didn't notice that before, but now that you mention it, it does. The father is named Joe. I wonder if thats what they were going for.

Yep, I'd bet it's a creative spelling to try to incorporate dad's name, or to make it easier for Americans to pronounce. (It's not on BTN, in case anyone was wondering.)

This is what I thought of as soon as I read the post name.

I have heard the name before, but I just can't place where it was.

It's an okay name (I typically love the ah-na ending on girl names), but it's just nms.

First thought. NMS.

I know a Jovonna in her early 20s, and the name suits her just fine, but it's really not my style at all.

There's a Jovanna at my organization and she's in her 40s.

I have a Jovanna dress. It's a pretty name, nms but pretty.

I have a really close friend whose name is Jovan - I LOVE HER!!  So, I would never see the name and think of Giovanna.  I like the name a lot.
