[Opinions] Re: Gianna and Giovanna
in reply to a message by Jenna
I do Italian at uni, which is the only reason I say jo-VA-na and JA-nah automatically. I think a lot of English speakers would favour jee-oh-VAH-na and jee-AH-na naturally.I'd far prefer to see the proper Italian pronunciation used ... I'm nitpicky like that :-)_____________________________________________________________________Elinor"I couldn't imagine somebody like Osama bin Laden understanding the joy of Hanukkah."
