Janet Fraiser from Stargate SG-1. Too bad they had to ruin the show by killing her off in the worst way possible, for her death to be irrelevant and her to be forgotten. She should have lived and become a main. She's my favorite character and I hate the writers for destroying the show, it is only good up until before these shitty episodes. Heroes are such terribly written and poorly executed episodes, they should never have happened.

Janet Lynn Nowicki was a figure skater in the 1970's in the USA. She was the 1972 Olympic bronze medalist, a two-time world championships medalist, and a five-time U.S. national champion. My mom loved to watch skating, which is how I got my name, and so of course I took skating for a semester in college. I had many nicknames as a child but none are listed on this page because they weren't standard nicknames. Janjan was one of them when I was little. The mother who lived next door when I was growing up was also named Janet, but went by Jan, so I was called Janet to avoid confusion. There were also three John's on my block growing up, which incidentally is the masculine version of Janet. I've only met a handful of others named Janet as it is one of those uncommon, yet known, names. I don't love it, or hate it. Some friends have simply called me Jay, Jae, J or Bluejay b/c I have blue eyes and ate like a bird. One of my uncles calls me Janer, which I rather like.Throughout life, I've heard it all; "Janet, Miss Jackson if you're nasty." "Janet planet" because it was one of the cards in the Garbage Pail Kids candy card collections in the '80's, and of course "Dammit, Janet" was also commonly said to me. Oh, and there was a character named Janet in the show Three's Company.

In Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Mr Rochester uses Janet as his pet name for Jane. Before this I'd never seen it used as it originally would have and it made me like the name again.
