This is my mother’s name & I am considering as a name I could really see myself using one day. It would be sisters [name]Leonie[/name] & [name]Jeanne[/name] which I think is adorable!
What do you think of the two spellings? Which is better & why?
[name]Jeanne[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] is nice. What about an anagram of [name]Jean[/name]: [name]Jane[/name]? It’s awfully similar and personally I think [name]Jane[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] is gorgeous.
[name]Jeanne[/name] and [name]Leonie[/name] sounds really sweet!
[name]Jean[/name] is my middle name. I would love to see it as a first.
I make a lot of calls at work and one person was named “[name]Jeanne[/name].” It was not pronounced like “[name]Jean[/name]” though (at least she didn’t pronounce it that way. I know it can vary)- more of a softer, French sounding pronunciation. So I would go with [name]Jean[/name] for the spelling.
I like [name]Jeanne[/name] best (it seems more feminine and a little more modern to me that way) but I also quite like [name]Jane[/name] as an anagram. I love [name]Jeanne[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name], it’s very smooth-sounding.
I like both spellings but for some reason with [name]Leonie[/name], I prefer [name]Jeanne[/name]. It just looks better to me, maybe bc seems more frilly than [name]Jean[/name], but it’s [name]Jeanne[/name], it works.
I like [name]Jeanne[/name] better, the spelling looks more feminine to me and I don’t think of jeans(pants) if it’s spelled this way. I like [name]Jeanne[/name]!
With [name]Leonie[/name], I think the spelling [name]Jeanne[/name] would look better (both are French). To English speakers, [name]Jeanne[/name] would be pronounced the same as [name]Jean[/name]. To French speakers, it would be pronounced more softly like" zhen" or “zhahn”.
