Re: Jeanne
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I'm a big fan of Jane/Jean/Joan/Joanna in almost any variation, so I say yes! It's absolutely worthy of resuscitation. My favs* from your combos are:
Jeanne Adelaide
Jeanne Camellia
Jeanne Cordelia
Jeanne Eleanora
Jeanne Lilia
Jeanne Matilda
Jeanne Olivia
Jeanne Rosalind
Jeanne Rosamond =possibly my favorite
*I picked these as my favorites using the JEEN pronunciation. Unless you're a French speaker in a French-speaking country, I think ZHAN is hard to pull off without sounding pretentious.
