Why my question last night...
Thanks to all who posted their thoughts on the name Joane.
It had come up at Baronial meeting, when the Chatelaine had thought it was pronounced Jo-ann, but thought I had always said Joan.
So, that made me wonder what those reading it might think, as I don't want to trip up Heralds all the time. I want a simple name (Joan), not one like my real name where I have to correct people every time the name is said the first time.
Then again, I could be deliberately mean to Heralds and spell it Ioane, which on screen in this font that has no difference between I (capital eye) and l (lower case ell) looks like money given out with interest in medievale Englande where everythinge hass those extra lettersss.
