  1. Unless it’s about to trend, don’t name your baby girl “Jean”. It’s my name unfortunately. No one under 60 recognizes as a name. All those pre-60 spell it “Gene“, which is a guy name. And in Canada it means John. Use Julie instead, Julia, Juliette

    • not a mother, but planning to be in like 5-10 years (im 15) and i like to think up baby names, am likely going to use jean as a middle name for my future daughter, something like luna jean. i honestly do think jean is a beautiful name, it just isnt for you maybe.

  2. Jean was my husband’s grandmother’s name. She was an amazing lady, science teacher in small town Georgia. I like that she can choose to go by Jeannie if she prefers.
