I don't think it is better than
Jane. Personal associations -
Rocky Horror, a woman I worked with who could be really rude sometimes,
Janet Jackson - it sounds harsh to me.
Jeannette would be juh-NET or jeen-NET in my accent, not the same as
Janet (JAN-et). I like it zha-NET like in French too.

Oh, and there's also
Janae, which looks to me like a phonetic spelling of an American's attempt to say
Janet in French. heh.

Janet although I know
Janae is much flimsier than
Janet.
