Yes... I know this.
Although my experience with it has been solely as a surname, I do realize it is a give name as well. I was just saying what I thought of it, and Jean is the first thing that jumps to my mind. I am from the English-seapking part of my country, I don't encounter such FRENCH names every day, so it's entirely acceptable for me to think of it as a surname before a given name.
