A. JoAnne. This name is considered an "iamb", which is a type of metrical foot or category of words used in poetry. The iamb refers to a word with one short syllable, followed by a longer stressed syllable. ( jo-ANNE, att-EMPT, un-TIL) The other names shown have the opposite structure, known as a "trochee"
