Personal experiences with the name Joanne

My name's Joanne and I like it. I get complimented on it quite a lot and it really fits my personality. I go by Jo or Joanne, I don't mind which.

This name was popular in the 50's when I was in school.

Most girls named Joanne were named after their dads (Joe). Like most girls named Donna were named after their dads (Donald).

I'm a Joanne. Everytime I hear someone call my name, I hear loud and distorted screaming in my head
