What would you think if you met a baby girl named Jean?

I don't like it

I'd be delighted. And I'd guess that there was some Scottish connection somewhere, maybe a grandparent.
I like Jean and Jane about equally. I'd use Jean because it's a family name on both sides, especially because DH's sister Jean (Scottish connection!) died too young of multiple sclerosis and I'd gladly use her name. I'm not keen on Joan - rhymes with moan - or Joanne, but I like Joanna very much.

It's mildly cute, though of course Jeannie is even cuter. I would probably think there was a Grandma Jean somewhere.
My niece and nephew go to a babysitter whose name is Jean Marie. She's in her sixties, I think, though she looks forty-five, tops. She apparently grew up being called Jean Marie, but it slurred into Jim and some of her older relatives still call her Jim. Most everybody else calls her Jean, but her in-laws call her Jeannie.
