Jan 🐈

So… do we think Jan could ever make a comeback? If so… in what form would you like to see her come back? Janelle? Janet? Janice? January? Maybe just Jan?

Thoughts?

I’ve met a couple of teenage Fran’s, so I don’t see why the similar sounding [name_u]Jan[/name_u] couldn’t come back as well! I could see [name_f]Janet[/name_f] eventually coming back, too, for it’s generally cool sound and look.

I could see it coming back. [name_f]Jana[/name_f] and [name_u]January[/name_u] don’t feel dated or out of style at all. Out of the other options, [name_f]Janelle[/name_f] feels the most likely to catch on first since elle is such a trendy sound right now, but [name_f]Janet[/name_f] with its popular -et(te) ending or maybe even [name_f]Janice[/name_f] could eventually have a revival as well.

@Sophie_M @sammaegre i totally agree with you both about Janet. I never realized how cool of a name this actually is?? It’s super punchy! I just know so many old ladies with the name that I never saw it in that way! But i really like it a lot.

I really hope it does! It’s just so dang cute, and the Jan’s I’ve my throughout my life were everything this name feels to me- smart, sassy, and strong. :mushroom:

I could see [name_u]Janis[/name_u] coming back with the rise of hippie names, because of [name_u]Janis[/name_u] [name_f]Joplin[/name_f]. I would actually consider naming my own little girl this though [name_f]Joplin[/name_f] is more my usual style! :peace_symbol:

I think it could definitely come back. [name_f]My[/name_f] grandma is [name_f]Janet[/name_f], I met a nurse named [name_f]Janelle[/name_f], and I’ve seen babies named [name_f]Janelle[/name_f]. [name_f]Janelle[/name_f] would probably be the first to come back.

[name_f]Janelle[/name_f] was also going to be my middle name if I was a girl

[name_u]January[/name_u] nn [name_u]Jan[/name_u] is absolutely my favorite! The others feel frumpy and unexciting, to me.

I kind of like [name_u]Jan[/name_u] - something short and cool about it. I quite like [name_u]Jan[/name_u] on it’s own :woman_shrugging:t3: [name_f]Janelle[/name_f] feels like it could come back, maybe [name_u]January[/name_u]?

I love [name_u]January[/name_u] :snowflake:

I also really like [name_f]Janet[/name_f] partly because she’s a family name and just feels so sentimental to me but I also love the vintage vibe she’s wholesome.

I can see a January, Janelle or Janis nn Jan for sure. I’m not quite ā€˜there’ with Janet because that’s my middle aged aunt who plays golf, but objectively I can see there’s nothing wrong with it :see_no_evil::laughing:

I think it could make a comeback, especially with [name_f]Dot[/name_f] and [name_u]Fran[/name_u] / [name_f]Frances[/name_f] gaining some popularity!

As for full names, I really like [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_u]January[/name_u] and I think [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] could also be shortened to [name_u]Jan[/name_u] easily!

I’m loving this feedback!! Makes me feel hopeful for Jan :pray:t2::smile:

I think [name_u]Janis[/name_u], [name_u]January[/name_u] or [name_f]Janna[/name_f] could feel fresh!

Janna is wayyyy cute!

I retract this statement as I’ve just listened to Midnights and Janet makes an appearance so that’s it, she’ll definitely come back now!
