It is pronounced with a French accent, but if one were to butcher it into English it would be "Jo-see-ann." This is popularly used when parents want to combine names, so it is not quite the same name as it would be in French. In English it is more simliar to names such as Mary-Kate and Anna-Beth.____________________________________________________________"'Chevrolet,' answered Ramona. 'I named her after my aunt's car.'
