Help[Opinions] Re: Janet
in reply to a message by Pickles
I never thought I'd see the day, but I think it might be on the verge of being fresh. I think this name could come around again. Especially if people start realizing its cute olde-timey nickname potential, because that sort of thing seems to be popular; stuff like Nora and Nell and Tess and Bess and Ned. Janet is really quite adorable and tidy in a thatched roof cottage sort of way, if you tilt your head a bit, and squint.
I think 70s era names might be coming back as well and Janet sure has that in spades. I know young people giving their kids Beach Blanket Bingo names like Curtis and Elaine, like unironically, so I could definitely see a little Janet fitting in perfectly with a class full of Violets, Henrys, Theodores and Hazels. To me, it's a Mom Name, not very cool, but the youngsters think mom jeans and fanny packs are cool again so I have no idea what's happening anymore.
I prefer Janet to Janice, as well. It feels warmer.
