[Opinions] Re: Janine?
In naming circles (i.e., here), "Retro-chic" refers to any era of the past. I've been using the term to refer to names that were popular around the turn of the twentieth century, like Josephine and Violet, for years. I use it so much for that time period, that I've taken to refering to names from the 1930's through 1950's as "WWII-era" names, just to keep them distinct. "Retro-chic" may have other connotations in other areas, like interior design or antique car circles. But here at BtN, for what it's worth, the term has a broader meaning. That said, I love the name Janine, although I'd prefer it spelled Jeanine. Nns Jenny, Jeanie and Nina are adorable.
