[Opinions] Two adult Danish sisters from a magazine.
Named Jean (prn JEEN) and Jeanne (prn ZHAN-nuh).ZHAN-nuh is the Danish way of pronouncing Jeanne. It's very valid when you hear the names, but on print it looks so weird. I had to take a double take, to make sure that I saw what I saw.My personal opinion is: Though they sound different in pronouncication, which I can agree with, but it looks very odd on a piece of paper. The names are too close to each other, and these sisters aren't even twins. What was the parents were thinking, nameing them these very alike looking names? *Sighs*
