I think someone already posted about this name. WDYT? Jean used to be very common as a middle name like Lynn and Sue. It's very laid back mom name as a first name.

Yes, it was me.Jean is okay. It sounds dated and kind of boring and a bit like "jeans" and I think there are lots and lots of people with it as a middle name.I prefer Jane.I also think that Jeanne looks so much better. Jean is also a very very common French masculine name so I would always pick Jeanne.I love Jeanne in French but pronounced in English it's okay as well.So I recommend Jeanne.I love Lynn, I dislike Sue.

Don't think I've ever seen Jean as a mn: Jane, yes, often, but not Jean or Joan. I like it as a fn - it was never popular enough here to be dated, IMO.

I have seen all of them quite a bit. I think June was the least common one (middle name) but that will soon change and is not true for the new generation, I am sure.I've seen Jean, Joan and Jane a lot and even Jayne.Hermione Granger's middle name is Jean, which is nice.
