Re: Is Jeanette a genuine French name?
in reply to a message by guasguendi
I don't get the sense that it is traditionally used in France. I'm guessing the use is because of misspelling or influence from other languages. According to government stats Jeanette has been used less than 300 times since 1900 while Jeannette has been used almost 20,000 times.
Edited to add: I didn't realize these numbers were already available on this site. I looked them up on a French language site not knowing this.
