Josanne La Valley: Hi, my name is Josanne La Valley. I have never met anyone else with the name Josanne. It's fun to have an unusual name and I like the story about how my parents came upon my name. They found a vintage postcard featuring a French model dressed in the style of the late nineteenth century. The only writing on the card was her name, Josanne. I was about to be born. They needed a name to go with La Valley, and they thought Josanne La Valley sounded pretty good. My parents tried to find a middle name for me, but nothing seemed to work. They liked it as it was and so do I.
