Title: Names!!! - and other cool things :D
Post by: Jo-is-amazing on October 03, 2014, 11:26:32 PM
Hi guys, I recently got my eyebrows done and ears pierce, and while I'm still feeling fabulous ;)
I was pondering which name I should choose. My family wants to still be able to call me 'Jo' which I'm totally ok with and with that in mind I've narrowed my name down to two options :D

1. Rebecca Joanne
2. Johanna Marie

does anyone know any pro's or con's for either name?
also which one do you guys think is cuter? :P

I like the combination of Johanna Marie better than the other plus it has the benefit of you still being able to be called Jo. I'm just not sure how well the first combination works together. Option 2 is your best of those you have made available.

I like the second one but go with what feels natural. Possibly even have friends call you by a few to see how it feels. I chose Jessica which is a bit plain but it has utility and can be Jess for short. Food last name I'm actually changing it to an old spelling to honor my family history.

What attracts you to being Rebecca and are you using Johanna because you want to or because your family is used to it?
