Help[Opinions] Re: Jean/Jeannie
in reply to a message by Bear
I had considered Jeanette too! I guess there are other names I like better, like John as a mn and Genevieve.

Genevieve is so happy sounding. Great choice. If that's what your heart is telling you, then you should follow your instincts. But I'm not sure I see the Jean in there. Oh. Gene. I get it. Sort of.
Hmmmm. Perhaps there's a variant of Jean that might work well as a mn for Genevieve: Genevieve Sian ("shahn") or Genevieve Siobhan? Something that doesn't start with a "j" sound is difficult.
John is so refreshing! He may have been overly used in the past, but I rarely hear the name anymore, or see it on these boards, for newborns. It's great as a mn, of course. But I'd be even happier if it were the fn. And it would definitely honor Jean, in either position.
