Love Johanna too mostly because I knew a really cool person by that name.

LadyXaverian · September 2014

Yes to all of the names listed here.

Jolene and Johanna are my favorites.

banana2020 · September 2014

My friend calls her daughter Jocelyn the nickname Joey. It's pretty adorable! I really like Johanna too.

meghoeschen · September 2014

I love Johanna, Josie and Jonae

I know the spelling doesn't match, but what about Georgia, Georgina, Georgette, etc? Jo would work as a nn. Although Josephine and Jocelyn are my favorites.

JoaPata · September 2014

Joanne - okay bias its my name ;-) Really like Johanna and Josephine. Like Jolene too. I may be doing a middle name of just Jo.

Growing up I was called Jo often as a nn and I liked it. :-) I also got JoJo a lot for some reason and Jobo (no idea why).

emilyp2013 · September 2014

My middle name is Jordan and my southern family members calls me Emily Jo. Haha I liked it since my fav character in Little Women has always been Jo.

HamptonsMama · September 2014

My middle name is Jo! It's short for Josephine which was my grandmother's name. I vote Josephine!!

Jamie02Lee · September 2014

I really like Jocelyn Jolene and Josephine

TiffanyJill · September 2014

I love Josephine and josephina! Also Jovanna! Thank you ladies!! And YES TO JO FROM LITTLE WOMEN!!

GracefulStar · September 2014

Another idea I is to do like a 'j' first name and 'o' middle name. I'm obsessed with Julietta or Juliet and then Olivia, Ophelia, etc. I wanted to do that with the name Jacey like a nickname for a first name with j and middle with c but I don't know...

WillCMyInk · September 2014

I would vote Josephine or Jocelyn.

JoLo908 · September 2014

My name is Joanna. If we have a boy, we have to name it after DH (he is the fifth believe it or not)! So, we are naming our little girl Joleigh. It is pronounced like Anglina Jolie. Jolie means pretty in French. I like the alternate spelling. I also love that people call me Joey, Jojo, or Jo.

BriannaCaitlin · September 2014

Johanna, Jolie, and Josie I love! But I have a little cousin named Joella and we have always called her Jo.

llambrose · September 2014

I love Johanna (pronounced Jo-anna)

januarymommy2015 · September 2014

Joleigh

januarymommy2015 · September 2014

Or Jolie

TiffanyJill · September 2014

My hubs favorite name is giulietta! But in Italian there is no J so he wants the spelling I showed. I cannot get him off that name lol

mrs824 · September 2014

Josephine! Or Jolie

jahtonnejrmom · September 2014

Joanna

Lanatir · September 2014

I'm definitely a fan of Josephine.

Possibly not as great of a suggestion, but there might be a few names with "jo" in the middle that could be used then. The one I thought of today was "Marjorie." I thought of it when I saw a "people you might know" on FB-- it was a friend from middle school and I noticed the "jo" in the middle because of this post. haha.
