I think saying jo-HA-nah makes a lot of sense, and it ticks me off a lot less than jo-AN-a does (because ferchrissake, we have Joanna for that). Pronouncing the J the English way in an English-speaking country makes a lot of sense (whereas ignoring the 'h', ie Joanna, doesn't).

I don't like just pronouncing a name a different way for the hell of it, but the most logical prn of Johanna to an English speaker IS jo-HA-nah, so someone pronouncing it that way in an English-speaking country wouldn't bother me that much.

Also, that's a Dylan song I didn't know, I'm gonna look it up.
