Jeanette it my given name, a combination of my both grandparents names,
Jennie and
Antoinette (called
Nettie) who passed on from cancer before I was born. Did not care for my other grandmother who was mean and called me
Jean to annoy me. I took
Marie as my confirmation name. I like the 2 names together as
Jeanette is unusual. I am not a girly girl as some posts reference. I am a smart and successful career woman. Proud that
Joan of Arc was also a
Jeanette (variant).
Unique names are memorable and set folks apart. Waiting for a hurricane or song to be named for
Jeanette! LOL!
