- Personal experiences with the name Juanita
Juanita isn't a very common name in Australia, so spelling/pronouncing mistakes are common. I found the easiest tip for people was to say "How do you spell/pronounce 'marijuana'"? Never had a problem since.
Marijuana is Mary Jane in Spanish, does everybody know that?
Who DOESN'T know that, dumbbell?
I think Juanita is pretty, but it's old fashioned.
