Help[Opinions] Re: Jean (f)
in reply to a message by Bear
I think it's kind of harsh looking, a bit anemic. I don't much get a friendly vibe from it - it's like a too-tight bun hairdo and glasses perched on a long nose, distilled into a name. I prefer Jeanne, said like Jean. Gives it a Hollywood Golden Age flair.
On second thought, after musing on it for a bit, I can appreciate it for what it is. It has an abrupt honesty to it; a kind of openness. Here are some combos:
Jean Minerva
Jean Augusta
Jean Laura
Jean Helena
Jean Clara
Jean Sarah
Jean Angela
Jean Amanda
Jean Miranda
Jean Juliet
ok ok, it's growing on me now!

Great description of Jean. I could almost feel my hair tightening as I read it. :-P
My only problem with the Jeanne spelling is the pronunciation. If I knew it would be pronounced like Jean I would embrace it. But I knew too many girls growing up who pronounced Jeanne with two syllables, like Jeanie. It irked me. But yes, the Jeanne spelling is visually softer and does have Old Hollywood glamour.
Loving:
Jean Minerva -- so Noel Coward
Jean Augusta -- don't mess with her
Jean Sarah -- if only to give Jean the front seat -- for some reason she always has to give way to Sarah in the the real world
Jean Amanda -- friendly
Jean Miranda -- magical
:-D
