Re: Friends' new baby
I think the yo-HAHN-ah pronunciation is going to prove to be a pain in the butt and she's going to end up being called what sounds like Joanna. I don't think people will even throw the H in there. There are worse names than Joanna. It's not terrible.

We actually have a lot of immigrants in our city. So there is already a smorgasbord of names and pronunciations. She will definitely get called Joanna sometimes, but I think people will figure it out.
