Not particularly fond of it, but would definitely be refreshing to hear now a days and does have a pleasant sound. It is imo a bit "Janet Jackson" at the moment but its ok i guess lol

I'm not really a fan, I find it dated. I can't picture it on a little girl.

I don't like it. It's reminds me of Judy, which is also a dated name.

Janet is not my style. I more like Jeannette Elinor.

It reminds me of "Interplanet Janet" from Schoolhouse Rock; it also reminds me that I was almost named this. Overall, I like the name Janet and it would be nice to see it make a comeback.

I was a huge Janet Jackson fan back in the day, so this name will always get a pass from me. I think it's cute and fresh, just like her.

It does nothing for me at all, I'm afraid. I know too many aunts and former teachers named Jan, Janet, and Janice to appreciate it. I think Janet's time to be cool again is yet to come.

I really like the imagery you have with it, though. The name Jeanette gives me that same feeling.

I have always far preferred my own similar-yet-different name, Janice, to Janet, and always been very glad that my parents chose Janice and not Janet.

---

To me, Janet is harsh, while the ending of Janice softens the name immensely and makes it more attractive.

---

Not that I think my name is the best one out there or anything, I just think it's far superior to Janet.

---

I've known many more Janets in my life than other Janices, so I think that Janet must have been more popular.

Anyhoo, not a big fan of Janet, it's undeniable that it's dated, but a little Janet today would stand out. But somehow it's hard to picture a baby Janet.

I've always liked it, and think it could be really cute on a little girl. It's always reminded me of a little bird too! That's funny.

Janet Elinor is a really great combo! I like how Elinor makes Janet really classy!

I can't really see Janet on a baby yet but it could work. I have a dear friend named Janet (late 30's) that makes me like the name.

Janet Elinor sounds beautiful, sophisticated, soft and kindly.
I like the name Janet even though most people automatically label it dated. It's sort of a bestfriend kind of name: cheerful and ready to help with anything.

My daughter has a good friend named Janet, they're four. It's actually my friends daughter, and it really suits her.

I quite like it - it's simple and sweet and there aren't many of them these days. I am also reminded of Rocky Horror, but this is not a bad thing. :)

I've always kind of had an attraction to Janet. It does have a pleasant sound. And I like Jenny for a nn. Janet Elinor is quite nice.

Re Janet. It's only OK for me. Seems quite pedestrian.
Elinor is one of my favourites.

it's not bad. I hardly hear Janet anywhere these days, so it's refreshing!

Janet Elinor is pretty, I esp love this spelling of Elinor. I must have seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show one too many times, cause I imediately thought of that when I saw the name. :(
