I agree with your mother- Jean pronounced the French way sounds much too masculine for a girl. You can really hear the John in it (it's a very similar sound, I mean), which makes it seem quite masculine to me. Anyway, I've always heard it on men, so that's how I imagine it. I do, however, love the feminine pronounciation (like blue jeans) on a girl.
