I don't really like it, but I prefer it to Jenette, because it admittedly looks cuter. I just find names ending in 'ette' always sound bland or harsh if the first half is dull, which 'gin' is.
Hi! My name is Ginette and I love it. I was named after my grandmother, who was born during the time when this was a popular name. I live in the U.S. but she was born in France. I always get compliments on my name. The only downside I see is that it's always misspelled or mispronounced.
The name Ginette is considerably dated in France. It became very popular out of nowhere in the 1930's, and remained so for about 25 years. By the 1960's it was very uncommon, and is extremely rare for babies today.
