Jean has never, ever appealed to me. Even with my love of To Kill A Mockingbird back in junior high, I didn't like Scout's real name. (Louise eventually grew on me, and then Louisa.)

Jean is... well, jeans. (And Gene is "genes," which is why I don't like Gene either.) Not to mention that Jean is also a French masculine name; but the more feminine Jeanne doesn't appeal either because it sounds the same in English.

Jane used to be "plain" to me, when I was a kid, but I eventually came to love Jane's unforgettable simplicity.

Edit: I forgot the second part of your question. Here's my sibset:

---

Jane Alexandra
Cara Genevieve
Luke Edmund James
