HelpRe: Jean
in reply to a message by Raya
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.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
