Johanna

If you saw the name Johanna, how would you pronounce it? It's on the list for sure, but we don't want it to be a burden for our daughter. If there are many different ways that people will say it, that will affect our decision. Thanks for your help.

FWIW, she does get a lot of flak for the name, and she is about 12. People tease her about it being an old lady name, and I suppose she is just old enough to be ahead of the granny name trend. She hates all the nicknames associated with Johanna, (Joey, Jojo, Josie, Jo, etc.) so she is always just Johanna. I'm pretty neutral on the name myself, I don't hate it or love it.
