Jane, Jean or Joan

[ClaraBean]

Which would you choose, and why?

Jean. Its my DDs middle name.

They are all nice, but Joan is my favourite

I love them all. Even though they're old fashioned names they seem really fresh to me.

Jane is the nicest
Jean is the coolest
Joan is a bit dreary

So I'd choose Jane.

Jane or Joan

Janes my middle name, always liked it and think it’s due a come back. Both DH & myself have/had Aunty Joans and both love family names.

1. Jane. Like its simplicity. Seems a bold choice now after 2 d3cades of frilly names
2. Jeanie but not Jean
3. Joan still seems drab, not ready to come back yet.

Jean. I know a lovely Jean in her 20s.

Jane or Joan.

Jean 100%

I feel like everyone has an Aunty Joan. I had two!

I think Joan or Jean.

Jane. It's the classiest.

Jean. Feisty wee name, Jeanie is good nn.

I’m not enthusiastic about any of them. Too grandma. But, if forced to choose, (plain) Jane.

Jane is such a nice classic name, not sure why is disappeared

Wow are Jean and Joan back?

About 20 years ago I found a baby card sent to my parents when I was born, by my aunt who was 10 at the time. She said she hoped I'd be called Jean. I was very pleased I wasn't and I have a name people on this board don't like

I like them all, but I like Jean (Jeanie) best.

Don’t like any but if I had to pick then Jane

I like them all, but like Joan best, it sounds so glamorous. Jane is very pretty. Jean sounds very cool (I do think of it as a very Scottish name though)

I like Jane, and then I prefer Jeanne or Jeanie and Joanie for the other two.

Jane (or Jayne) then Jean but not Joan. I also like Janet and Jeanette .

I love Jean

Jane is lovely.

Joan because it was the name of both my nanas.

I've always loved the name Jane. Jean is ok, not so keen on Joan though

I love them all! Joan and Jean are very cool. Jane is more classic.
