Help[Opinions] Re: Jean (f)
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
Jean feels too dated, in my opinion. I also automatically read Jean as the male name Jean, so it feels masculine to me. Jeanne seems much more feminine, and more... complete, I guess? Not sure why. I also like the similar Jane or Joan better.
I also agree that a lot of the middle names you listed could easily overpower Jean. It definitely sounds best with names that were also popular at the same time as Jean, which seems to be a lot of your list. Here's some of your combos I really liked:
Jean Beatrice
Jean Blythe
Jean Florence
Jean Isobel
Jean Margot
Jean Susannah
Jean Sylvia
Jean Winifred
