Help[Opinions] Re: Two adult Danish sisters from a magazine.
in reply to a message by Charlie Blue
And in English, they're pronounced exactly the same! If the Danish prn of Jeanne is ZHAN-nuh, why isn't Jean prn ZHAN?

I pronounce Jean JEEN and Jeanne ZHAN...
And I only speak English.
Then again, my sister and grandmother are both named Jean. My sister goes by Jeannie, to distinguish the two.
I like both Jean and Jeanne, but would never use them both for my children, especially identical twins. Actually, I probably wouldn't use Jean, Jeannie, or Jeanne period, because I know too many of them (two in my family, one a family friend).
