I agree, I prefer the look of Jean. However, if you want the JEEN pronounciation on a boy, I'd spell it Gene. It's too gender-bendy otherwise Or even name him Eugene with Gene for a nickname. I like the French pronounciation better, myself, in any case.
I do think that most of your combos work much better pronounced JEEN not ZHAWN. My vote would be Viktor Jean, Jean Elijah (but this makes me soften the J in Elijah, which still sounds just fine to my ears), or Peter Gene (I really like the flow of this but still don't support Jean-prn.-JEEN on a boy.)
