Hi there!
Would you consider the spelling Johanna? It's pronounced the same and I find it more elegant than Joanna, and I believe it's the original spelling of the name. I don't usually go for alternative spellings, but this one is widely accepted, though yes, you will end up having to correct people because Joanna is more common.
I was surprised someone said that Joanna is an old-lady name that will torture your little girl through high school. Huh?
My two cents!

It's ripe for a comeback! I don't see how at a time that the top names are Emma and Emily, a Joanna would be "tortured" for having an "old lady" name. I think it will age a whole lot better than a lot of the trendy names in use today.
