I love the original spelling! The nn doesn’t have to match the spelling of the name. A nn could be anything you want. I think your overthinking this.

You could go with Gia or GiGi

Keep the original spelling. Never compromise. Ever.

Gia is still cute (I call my dog Gianna, Gia) and can easily come from Giovanna.

I think Giavanna is prettier and doesn’t remind me so much of Giovanni. Plus, it makes it less confusing. Some people actually pronounce the o sound.

I would use Gia by itself.

It’s supposed to be pronounced with the O and it is the feminine form of Giovanni so of course it’d remind you of it. Keep Giovanna.
