Female version of Jack

[rumtumtugger]

We'd like to honour my father in law, but need a female name. Not Jacqueline please!

Jocelyn?

What about Sian (pronounced Sharn) which is the welsh version on Jane?

I went to school with a Jacinth.

Hadn't occurred to me before, but Jacinthe in French is Hyacinth in English.

I quite like Jack for a girl, especially as a middle name.

Jane is lovely. Johanna?

lol at Jackette! that made me snigger!!

Can I suggest then, in that style, Jackal

Siún (Shoon) short for siobhan. but siobhan is Joan I think. Well, what about Joan1? that's more like John

Jacqueline.

Isn't Jacqueline derived from James anyway?

What about Jac? Has it got to be the first name? Jac would be good as a middle name then you could have something else as the first name.

Just Jackie perhaps?

Jack started life as a nn for John.

These are all feminine equivalents of John (and thus also Jack).

Gig
Gianna
Giannina
Giovanna
Ioana
Ioanna
Ivana
Ivanka
Ivanna
Jane
Janelle
Janey
Janna
Jannah

Jean
Jeanette
Jehanne
Joan
Joanie
Joanna
Joanne
Johanna/h
Jovana
Oana
Siobhan

That first one should read Gia not Gig!!!

There's a famous Vogue model called Jacquetta Wheeler. I rather like it.

Nena means grand daughter in Hebrew would you like that sort of tribute to him? X

I worked with a lady once named Jakarta. Jack would be a sweet nickname for that.

Jack orginated as a nickname for john, so I think john-type names would be lovely and there are alot to choose from such as 'janet'

Personally I love Joanna, as somebody above mentioned.

'Jenna' is also a great name.

Jazz?

Sorry, just realised that you didn't want Jacqueline.

I knew a Jackamena once (not sure on the spelling though!)

It's funny, I'm not keen on Jack for a boy but I know of a Jaque (girl) and I really like it!
