I like both names, however, I'd worry that Johanna with the German pronunciation would be frequently butchered. Do the parents live in an area with German roots? I'm also not wild about how JohaNNA NOelle runs together. Too many ns for my taste. Still, Johanna is lovely.

Yeah, the N thing is a bit much, but I think it's better than is the emphasis in Noelle was on the first syllable. Like Johanna Nolan or something. At first I wasn't sure, but now I don't even mind them together.The father has German roots, but the area is not German.
