Yanna

The team here struggled with my name.  The European pronounciation of Janna is Yanna, and I guess there are a few Australian personalites named Yanna as well.  So every time I was introduced, it was something different, Yanner, Yanna, Janner, etc..  So finally I gave in to it and declared that my Australian personality is Yanna.  That made it easy.  Now everyone knows me as Yanna, and I like that.  I feel very continental and somehow more free since I'm not just the same old Janna.  Now I'm Yanna and Yanna can do whatever!  I told the team here I was going home a new woman, with a new name and a tatoo.  I'm not really getting a tatoo, but that got a laugh.  The Aussies love a joke.  They said I'm a good stick, which is a compliment - like being a good egg.  So good on ya, Yanna, the good stick!
