Help[Opinions] Re: Janice
in reply to a message by Perrine
Oh noooo, my name! Now I have to read insulting comments about it! Just kidding. Kind of, lol. I think it's very hard for people to really objectively judge dated names---the names that are still borne by the middle-aged and old people who are still around---so I will take all comments with a grain of salt.
It's my name and I've always said that for that reason I can't judge it objectively. Which is true.
But I will add that because I very much like Candice, which is very similar in sound to Janice, that fact makes me think that if I were alive and kicking circa 1930 or earlier, when Janice was fresh and new and not dated, I would probably have liked it.
I think it's quite substantial enough.
I far prefer the spelling Janice, which is how my name is spelled. My sister-in-law used to spell it Janis, when she sent cards and such, and that really bothered me. I think the Janice spelling looks so much nicer, but maybe that's only because that's how I spell it.
It's so hard to say which names will make a comeback. My grandmother Hazel was born in 1906 when Hazel was popular, and her sister Gladys was born in 1902 when Gladys was mega-popular, and now Hazel has made a comeback and Gladys is still nowhere to be seen. So who knows about Janice?
I do appreciate the fact that you kind of like my name.
