Re: Thoughts on Jeanne?
Oooh, I love Jeanne. It would be so nice to see it used again, especially as a fn. And if it's a family name for you then all the better. I'm with you on the pronunciation. Either like Jean or the French way, "zhan." My only fear with Jeanne is that a lot of people (here in the U.S.) think it should be pronounced like Jeanie. I love Jeanie, but not spelled "Jeanne."

Oh, thank you!
Jean is my name, Jeanie to family and friends of long standing. And that's the way I've always spelled it.

At one time I seriously considered using Jean for a dd. I love its sweet simplicity. And the nn Jeanie is so, so cute. I'm glad your parents used it, even if I never did. :-P
