It’s not that bad. I understand why people might like this name, but I don’t like it. Sorry.

I think Jean is a very nice name with a lovely vintage charm. Although I prefer it for a girl, I think it could fit either gender. I like both of the spellings Jean and Jeanne. The name works beautifully as both a first and middle name. I also think it works wonderfully as a double-barreled name, such as Jean-Marie, Brandy-Jean, Jean-Rose and Mary-Jean. For boys, I like Jean-Ryland, Jacob-Jean, Jean-Oliver and Mason-Jean. For unisex options, I like Jean-Claude, River-Jean, Jean-Dylan and Riley-Jean.
Overall, I think Jean (and it's variant Jeanne) is a beautiful name.

This name is cute, I like it. I feel like this name (along with Kim and a few others) is a very unisex name, like it sounds like it could go on 2 very different girl and boy and it would make sense (or any other gender).

I like Jane a lot better. This is like “a pair of jeans” LOL.

I'm sorry, but I don't really like the name Jean. I have nothing against it either, but I can't help but remember the jeans. Also, it is too short and plain for my liking. I think there are better variants, like Jan, Jana, Jane, Janelle, Janessa, Janet, Janis, Jannese, Jannine, Janice, Janie, Janis, Jeanette, Jeanie, Jeanne, Jeannine or Jen. Of all these options, Jean is the least favorite.

Jean is my middle name but I have never liked it because to me it sounds like a masculine name, which it also is. Had I been able to choose my first and middle names, I would have chosen "Anne" as my middle name. To me, the spelling "Anne" (instead of "Ann") makes it seem like a very regal name.

I don't like this name, especially if it is used for girls. It does not sound feminine at all. I find it boring and uninteresting.

Jean Stapleton was an American character actress of stage, television, and film. Stapleton is best known for having portrayed Edith Bunker, the long-suffering, yet devoted wife of Archie Bunker, on the 1970s sitcom All in the Family. Stapleton was a three-time recipient of the Prime Time Emmy Award for leading actress in a comedy series and won two Golden Globes in the same category during the show's airing. She also made occasional appearances on the All in the Family follow-up series Archie Bunker's Place, but, tired of the role, asked to be written out of the show during the first season.

I like it as a middle name. For a full name Jeanne, Jeanette, or Jeanna are more elegant and pretty. I like short middle names for girls.

I don't know how people can call Jean a "trashy" name. That's just absurd. It is an elegant name. My mom is Jeanette and she is called Jean and Jeanne which she likes better and yes, she gave it to me as middle name. Old fashioned, but aren't so many millions of names old?

I am named Jean Louise after my two grandmothers, Vera Jean and Helen Louise, but I've been called Jeana since I was little. My mother's middle name is Jean, and my brother named his little girl Sarah Jean, which I think is cute. I never liked "Jean" or "Louise" because they are old fashioned names. I've decided to start liking my name, however, because it is, after all, my name and I do like that Jean means "God's gracious gift" as the other responder mentioned. I also prefer to like my name because I don't want to hurt my mother, and because I loved my grandmother Vera Jean so dearly- as did we all! :)

We are currently settled on this as a middle name if our baby is a girl, because it is the first or middle name of both of my husband's grandmothers (one of which passed away before he was born). I personally find it rather short and plain, and would prefer something more unique (not so classic), but I do like the meaning "God is Gracious".

At the moment, I'd definitely consider Jean for a daughter, if I ever have one - as either a first or a middle name, mainly because of the model and actress Jean Shrimpton and also my grandmother was called Jean. I think it's simple yet beautiful in its own antique way.

My middle name is also Jean. I was given it as a namesake after my great aunt Eugena, whom everyone called"Jean". I don't like it for a first name, but I like it as my middle name. It's a very plain and traditional name, but I cherish it because it is a namesake to me.

This seems to be the middle name of every other trailer trash or hillbilly woman or girl. Very unimaginative and dull, especially as a middle name.

It's funny when people say, hey, I like your jeans! Or when they're teaching about genetics and talking about genes. You have genes, Jean. Your gene is ugly.

This is my first name, it was very unique for me because I didn't know anyone else with my name. It was my mom and my Grandmother's middle name. The only thing I didn't like was that it was always being misspelled in school.

My middle name is Jean like a lot of people on this comment list. It was my mother's middle name. Honestly, I don't really like it. I mean it's not a horrible name but Jane or Jeanne would be more elegant I think. If you like old fashioned names this would be a great choice.

My grandmother is named Jean. The name was very popular in the 1920s when she was born. She often jokes about her primary school class, which had 7 girls named Jean and 9 named Shirley. If the teacher wanted silence she would call out "Jean and Shirley! Be quiet!", thus silencing half of the class!
