Jeanie yes, Jean no.

Agree with everyone else nooooo to Jean its an old person's name.

Jeannie is nice though.

Although the fact that it would get shortened to jean would put me off.

No no no.
Jean is 50+, not a newborn.

You won't believe it, but we have had a thread asking about this name very very recently. Jean v. Joan I think. Within the last month.

Noooooo

It's a middle aged lady name, not for a beautiful baby girl. I don't think it's very feminine to be honest and makes me think of my mother's friends.

One of my colleagues has called her little girl Jeanne - pronounced Jan. Much nicer and more feminine IMO

very plain
I know a Jean and she is the plainest person I know - she's about 40

Weirdly, I don't hate it. It is very much a name of my mum's generation (she's 67), but maybe enough time had passed for it to be cool, especially if she's named after someone.

I like Jeannie too

I like it, esp. Jeannie.

The Jean I knew was Jane but known as Jean but not sure if that was just her iyswim.
