[Opinions] Re: Jan for a boy?
I actually know two male Jan's. One of them is German, and pronounces his name Yahn, but the other pronounces it just like you're referring to (first syllable of Janet). Neither of them have had major problems with the name -- but It's not my style, and not something I'd use just because it strikes me as feminine when pronounced like Janet, but I do kind of like the Yahn pronunciation. . . too bad it wouldn't work as easily here in the states without any foreign heritage.
