Don't like it - just doesn't have a nice sound.

I like Jean though.

Bleugh!

at Tambajam. Awful. Jean is just...err...a bit dowdy. ( Yes, I know some lovely women called Jean too, though they're all over 70)

Yuck - its awful. When I was a student I lived on Myrtle Avenue and the houses were drab and horrid!

Myrtle.... Just.Appallling.

Jean - i don't know, i rather like it. I suppose I think of Jean Shrimpton, who was the Most Beautiful Woman Ever.

or how about Jeanne?

Portblack - deffo not you then, phew! The Myrtle mini owner I know is a complete bag, and you seem far too nice.

Myrtle Jean sounds lovely to me. MJ is a great nickname should she hate it.

Reminds me Moaning Myrtle from Harry Potter. It's not the bast name IMO. As for Myrtle Jean: no way. It's old fashioned and ugly sounding.Campion is right. Jean is dowdy.

Not good imho.
Jean not great either, sorry.

I think Myrtle is really sweet!
