Johna vs. for a vs. girl

HI! I am expecting my 4th child. I have 3 boys named Matthew, Mark, and Luke. While we are excited to have a girl, we thought maybe it would be another boy so we could name him John--to complete the 4 Gospels! We are now considering Johna. What do you think? It will be pronounced like John-uh.

Great name! Very petty.
Jana, Jo(h)anna, Ja(y)ne, Shauna...all are feminine forms of John.

Compared to your traditional boys names it sounds trashy to me. Also, dont you think she might feel like you really wanted a boy, and you couldnt even come up with a real girl name.
Jane is the most common variant of John and it flows better with the boys. I love the name Jane!

The idea is nice, but I’m not in love with the name. I would prefer Joanna. Maybe you could be a pick the name of strong female figure from The Bible. GL!

It reminds me of that Jondis disease. It’s an ok name, it’s original, and I understand why you like it.. BUT I think if you do that, she might feel like you wanted another boy instead. And you wouldn’t want that. So what about Joni or Jonell? I don’t like Joanne or Joanna. Plus, you never know.. you might end up with another boy, and then he won’t fit in! Good luck!

Johna is cute. It’s definitely unique. I don’t think she’ll feel ’left out’ or offended or anything because you’re not actually naming her John. If you did that, then for sure she’d feel like you wanted a boy. I think Johna is a creative feminine form of John. Go for it!!

I don’t really like the name Johna. If you want to keep along the Gospel lines, pick a nice Gospel name instead. Good luck.

I like Johna and new a girl with that name but she spelled in Jonna (like donna) so i think it looked more feminine...

Don’t give her a name that you would never have considered giving her if you didn’t have this motif going already. Think back -- if she had been your first baby, would you have given her the name Johna? She’s not just your fourth baby in a set. Most of her life is going to be lived out there in the world as an adult, not as the tail end of your cute baby-naming motif.
