Totally crushing on the name Jean. What are your thoughts on it?

Sibset would be Finn, Louis, Hector & Jean

Brutus - if she takes after her brothers, then definitely quirky 😁

Caterpillars - I also love Joan, but rhymes with moan and my children tend to be rather moany.

Dazedandconfused - yes, love the nn Jeannie ☺

I love Jean (and Joan - thanks to Buffy/Tabula Rasa episode!) but agree you have to have the personality and coolness to wear them well. I also think Jean works well as a middle name...

I just picture Stacey's mum from eastenders

Have known 2 Jeans they have all been mean Jeans. All really tight fisted

I know a very cool (adult) Jeannie Smile

I prefer Joan.

Jean is okay but Joan seems fiesty and retro chic

Jean could be cool and edgy depending on who owns the name, I think. Otherwise it's a very dull and not even chic old lady's name, I'm afraid.

Would your jean be a cool, edgy kid of girl do you think? Or a plain Jane/jean?

It is my daughter's middle name and I love it😀

Cestquiluideja · 30/05/2017 21:08

Love it. Sweet and not popular.

I love Jean. Really nice name and very uncommon without being weird.

SuperBeagle · 30/05/2017 21:08

I find it dull as dishwater. See also Jane, Joan and June. Boring.

See, I find Jane quite plain; but Jean has attitude.
