I have recently fallen in love with [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f]! (Jee-net)
Nicknames:
[name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Jeannie[/name_f]
[name_f]Nettie[/name_f]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]
JJ or J.C depending on middle name.
I have a maternal and one paternal aunt with the name [name_u]Jean[/name_u] or [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f]. My great aunt was named [name_f]Nettie[/name_f].
[name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] is my middle name.
What do you think?
It’s usually pronounced [name_f]Jen[/name_f]-ett. I’m torn…it’s not a name I’d particularly like, but it’s the first name of a favorite author. Still…I’d be more likely to use her last name (Winterson–for a boy). It would be nice w/a lovely [name_m]French[/name_m] middle name, though.
What do you think of:
[name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]
I know that it is usually pronounced [name_f]Jen[/name_f]-ett or [name_u]Jan[/name_u]-ett but I love this way so much more… Why not Jee-nett?
I think it is obvious the sentimental and emotional ties this name has for me!
When i first read the name, I read it like zha-nett. The “ette” is a common ending in french names so…[name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] looks like it should be pronounced with the “aha” beginning. I do dig the familial honoring though. [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is a more lovely combination than [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] [name_f]Coralie[/name_f].
[name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] is not personally my style, but it isn’t a bad name by any means - just a little dusty. 
However, I do think you’d have issues with people pronouncing it “jen-ette.” There’s nothing wrong with the way you personally pronounce it, but [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] is a pretty common/well-known name that most people read and say as “jen-ette.” That’s the only issue here…

[name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]
This was my mom’s name only she spelled it with a double n ([name_f]Jeannette[/name_f]) and pronounced it juh-nett. Her nickname was [name_u]Jean[/name_u] but she was a country girl
born in 1940 so [name_u]Jean[/name_u] makes sense.
I like [name_f]Jeannette[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f].
