Jennet: yay or nay? Be blunt!

[nosepeg]

Jennet is my current fave - also am liking:

Rainbow
Scarlett
Kimber

Verdicts from the MN Jury?

Sounds like rennet. So. No.

Isn't Jennet a small type of horse?

None of my business if it is as long as you like the name though.

I really like Jennet - have a memory that it's the name of character in a really good book. Might come to me!

Scarlett - nice but lots around
Rainbow & Kimber - don't like.

A jennet is a female donkey. Jeanette?

Love Rainbow, Scarlett and Kimber.

How do you pronounce Jennet? If it's Jen-net, it sounds a bit harsh and blunt to me.

No, it's like a strange version of Jennette which sounds very dated and not in a cool way.

Woman in Black. Jennet Humphrye. Crazy mad scary ghost lady.

I also thought of rennet

I came across Jennet reading mediaeval texts in my history degree! Witch trials I think... but I just really like it

Jennet? Thought of rennet as well.

All your name choices sound like those flower fairy books

Have you considered Pennetta?

There are quite a few Jennets in the Scots branch of my family, it seems to have been really popular in 17th and 18th century Midlothian.

A jennet is a type of horse... Would you be happy to call her Labrador?

I agree, too many shades of Cold Comfort Farm for me.

She'd be fossicking and scratling before you knew where you were.

Jennet really is a girls' name though - Labrador isn't

What about Labra-mae? Very pop round our way.

Rainbow...really.

Jennet is the best out of that batch but sounds like a mispelled Janet.

Don't like any of them - don't saddle her with Rainbow!! Scarlet is the best IMO (you did say be blunt )

People may think you're saying Janet in a posh voice....

All bloody awful.

Back to the drawing board.

I have a Jennet in my family tree. So yes. :)
Hate Rainbow, but Enfys is nice- Welsh for rainbow, and it's an actual name.
Scarlett nice.
Kimber is horrible.

rennet or badly spelled Jeanette. sorry.

rofl, I said blunt, not cunt!

Many thanks for the refreshing honesty. I guess Rainbow is going a bit far
