Just imagine the immature jokes someone with this name will get in Spanish-speaking countries. Tijuana?

It has some appeal. I also see and hear marijuana, but it's not a bad thing….

Reminds me of marijuana.

The "Ta-" prefix isn't meant to have any meaning - it was more likely inspired by other feminine names that begin with Ta-, like Tamara and Tanya. And of course Juana is Spanish in origin, but like several other names from continental European languages (most often French and Spanish) it has gained some currency in African-American communities. Antonio, André and Monique are other examples of Spanish and French names that are more popular among Black Americans in the context of the USA.

Why is "ta" a popular prefix? It's just the feminine form of "your" in French. This would sound ridiculous to a French person, as all these names would. Would you call your daughter "Yourjuana"?

I think this name sounds cute. I'm strange like that, I know. It just appeals to me.

This is one of the most ridiculous names I've seen. Juana is not an African-American name to begin with, and I really don't get the need to shove a silly prefix to every single name. It sounds like some sort of weird article like 'the'.

Juana is definitely not pronounced WAHN-a and many other pronunciations are incorrect as well.
