Help[Opinions] Re: Jane and Jan
in reply to a message by )(
I like Jane very much; my favourite fem form of John, though for family reasons I'd be more likely to use Jean.
Jan, where I live, is strictly male and the standard Afrikaans version of John, ETA pronounced Yun, though others do exist. As a fem name, I've only encountered it as a nn for Janice or Janet; it's an improvement on Janice but I prefer Janet in full.
