Re: Jean (f)
in reply to a message by Bear
Meh, I'm not a fan. It's too plain for me and far too common. Besides, it's the name of my MIL. 'Nuff said. ;-)I do have one good friend (Sarah Jean) who goes by Jeanie. The name suits her.Could Jean make a comeback? It's possible yet it's still a pretty common mn. I can actually see Jane making a comeback before Jean. I could be wrong, though.

OK. MIL trumps all. I agree about Jane making a comeback before Jean. Jane has the advantage of being the name of queens and authors. Poor Jean seems to be always stuck in the mn spot. Ah, well. Thanks for the feedback. It's all appreciated.

Where I live Jean is actually a pretty famous historic name. She was a big deal because she was a pilot and broke lots of flying records and she was also a woman in the 30's being a pilot which is pretty unheard of. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_BattenSo there is that one namesake.. probably not too well known in other parts of the world I'd say
