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!
