Re: Jean / Jeanne
in reply to a message by sandrinchen
I think Jean is very cute. My friend's mother is named Jean Marie, which I think is even cuter. She prefers Jeanne and once considered changing her name legally to Jeanne, but never went through with it.
I have never heard Jeanne or Jean mispronounced before. I don't think that's much of a worry in the US. Jean Marie is often called Jeannie, and I think Jeannie's a cute nn too.
Jean Louise is pretty, but yes, it is pretty closely associated with TKAM. Although that's not a bad thing, it's way better than Scout! Also, the Dana Girls, (part of the Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys thing) were Jean and Louise.
