Janelle

This is my name and I love it. Feminine, memorable, people always tell me it's a beautiful name. I'm in my 30s and have met maybe 5 others in my life, we all have had different spelling.

I think the name is lovely and soft.

Janelle is a very gorgeous, natural sounding name. It’s very simplistic and unique at the same time; I love that. Nell, Nellie, Jan, and Janie make sweet nicknames. However, I do prefer Janelle in its full form. Janell is another awesome spelling that you can check out.

Sounds very 70s. There was a huge french/french-sounding name trend in the United States at the time.

This is my mother's name, who was born in '73. That will always be my association to it. Plain and simple. I find it pretty but I've never particularly been into French names ending in "elle". They sound overly cutesy to me, and at times a little try-hard. I know that's going to hit a couple nerves because of everyone's attachment to the name "Isabelle/Isabella" but that's just how I feel. Whatever floats your boat, honestly.

I love this name! I imagine Janelles to be strong, brave, kick the boy's butt if you wanted to kind of girl.

Oh, so pretty! I love this and Janice and Janette, but not Janet.

Beautiful name and much better than Janet!

When I was younger I used to really hate my name, then I met a girl whose name was spelled J-a- n-e-l and I was like that's how my name should have been spelled. She's a wonderful person and she made me like the name but in H.S. after we lost contact my friends called me Nelly and I liked it more than Janelle. Even though I have yet to meet another Janelle in person I do hate it less now that I'm older. Some guys admitted to wanting to date me because of my name. Lol I'm Puerto Rican and a lot of people thought I was black by name association which by DNA all Ricans are. Then one day I met a lady from Haiti and she told me the name Janelle is very popular there and guys are named Jonelle I thought that was interesting. Funny though my mom saw the name when looking through movie credits and that's how I was named Janelle.

I've always admired the cadence of this name.

This is my name and I love it so much.

Looks like a pseudo-French name. I prefer Jane and Jeanette anyways.

I used to hate my name, now I appreciate how feminine, young, and uncommon my name is. I've had many people say they think of a beautiful woman when they hear the name.

Pretty.

This is my name and I love it!

Our daughter's name is Janelle, we have always loved this name. Janelle was born January 1, and her Grandmother's name was Nellie. What better name, Jan for January and Nelle for my mother in law. Needless to say she loves her name, and yes she loves the nickname Nellie. Also loves her birthday on NEW YEARS DAY. I guess we knew what we were doing.

I am a 64-year old man in love with a woman named Janell. It's a beautiful name for a wonderful nurse to my elderly father. That's how I met Janell. Besides being beautiful, she is smart, funny, and very caring. Maybe I can persuade one of my daughters to name her next baby girl Janell.

This is my name. I hated it a lot growing up but now I feel pretty neutral about it, especially in light of the hideous cutesy names emerging in recent decades. I'm encountering more people named Janelle, but also realizing there are so many different spellings that differ between J vs. G and the appropriate number of Ns, Ls, and Es to include.

This name has grown on me! It's cool and different and I think it's an awesome name! :) x Makes me think of the amazing singer Janelle Monáe. :D.

I'm not a fan of this name. Don't like the way it sounds and looks. I prefer the names Janie and Jane.

A little harsh sounding.

My sister's name, but it is spelt "Janell", nicknames Nelly & Nell, name isn't that common, I only met 3 persons named Janell, including my sister.

I have really liked this name for forever. I know as a young girl it was the name I'd given to one of my dolls. :) I've had three friends with this name - all of which are wonderful, sweet and genuine people! They each spelled it differently though. (Janel, Jeanelle, Janelle. One of them I called Nellie which she really liked. I think it's a cute nickname - who cares about the Loch Ness monster anyways! There was a character on Little House on the Prairie named Nellie.

Janelle is my aunt's name, and I used to call her 'Nellie'. But then I stopped when I realized what the Loch Ness Monster was called.

My name is Janelle and I like it. It is very beautiful and I don't know people with the same name. But sometimes people pronounce it as Yanelle, Janella or Jinelle but on the whole it is an uncommon and beautiful name.

In Portuguese, janela means window. That's why I don't like this name at all.

It sounds like something lower middle class people choose for their daughter out of the desire to seem more glamorous and sophisticated than they are, and of couse they fail miserably, as the name is a bit... well, not flat ot trashy, but far from highly sophisticated. It's a rather unimaginative, lazily constructed name.

I never used to particularly care for this name, but lately I find Janelle to be a subtly sophisticated and pretty name. I don't think it's trendy; I've never met a Janelle in my life.

I have mixed feelings about Janelle. Somtimes I really like it. I think it sounds trendy without being too trendy. Then again, somtimes I really hate it and think that it just sounds like Geletain or Jello.

Hey, that's my name! I have to say that I love my name. It's a beatiful name that you only hear around every so often.

I really like the name Janelle. It is in fact, my name. It is very unique, and not many people have that name. All done!

I have always thought that Janelle was a pretty name. Not overly used which is nice.

Janelle is my name and I love it. I find it plain sometimes, but it is very unique and everyone tells me how beautiful it is. However, most Janelles I've met are very bratty.
