Help[Opinions] Thoughts on Jeanne?
(I wanted to post again...)
What do you think of Jeanne? It's my paternal grandmother's middle name. She pronounces it like the English name Jean. I prefer that, though the French pronunciation sounds nice too.

I like it, and I pronounce it just like Jean also.

I think I prefer it spelled Jean for English speakers (or non-French-speakers...) because it looks neater to my eye. But it's a lovely name all the same.

It's a nice name. This is the first name of my new uncle's mom.

Oooh, I love Jeanne. It would be so nice to see it used again, especially as a fn. And if it's a family name for you then all the better.
I'm with you on the pronunciation. Either like Jean or the French way, "zhan." My only fear with Jeanne is that a lot of people (here in the U.S.) think it should be pronounced like Jeanie. I love Jeanie, but not spelled "Jeanne."
