Jean.

[BatFinked]

What do you think? Due a revival? Had its day?

Can't make my mind up.

I love it but I would call a child Jeanie. But it's a family name so I have an emotional connection to it.

Had its day surely

I really like it!

Love it. 10 years ago I wouldn't have been ready but now I am.

Love it

I love it. I think it's retro-cool, and if you decide to use a nickname then Jeanie is very cute.

I love it, it was one of my grandma's name so again a family connection for me but I definitely think it's due a revival. If I could have chosen my children's names from scratch I would have had Jean in there somewhere, I love it as a first name and a middle/connector name.

I can see it more as a middle name actually. Make a refreshing change from Rose and May and goes nicely with a lot of modern names

I was going to say that it sounds fresh as a middle name. Far too many Roses around.

I love it. Works well as first or middle. It's funny how it sounds good now when I'm sure it wouldn't have done a decade ago.

I wouldn't but only because it's my MIL's name so would get confusing!

I really like it and think it’s due a come back, but it might be a hard sell to the baby’s grandparents as they’ll probably associate it with their parents’ generation.

I think it’s one of those names that works beautifully as a middle name with a multi-syllable first name. On its own it’s a bit plain.

Penelope Jean
Alexandra Jean
Katherine Jean
Madeleine Jean
Emily Jean

That sort of thing.

My niece is Chloe Jean. I really like it, it has a Norma Jean, Billie Jean vibe.

Don’t like it but I guess it could be a pet form of Jeanette

Love it, but. It sure it’s the right time for a revival.

I have noticed it cropping up a fair bit as a middle name on new baby announcements on fb/Instagram.

Ooh, I like it! To my surprise.

Like probably just about everyone, I used to know someone much older called Jean, who was lovely but I never cared for the name in those days.

Chloe Jean is great. It makes me think of the French expression “jolie-laide”. Chloe is such a pretty, girlie name and Jean gives it a bit of an edge.

Love it. Jean, Jeannie, Jeanne... All good.

I love my Jean, if you need convincing. I know a teenage Jean, she's fab.

Lovely poem!

It's fantastic

Apart from Hygiene / Hi Jean it’s lovely!

One of the coolest women I’ve ever known was called Jean.

If you aren’t sure though you could go for Sheena which is a variant.
