Help[Opinions] Re: Jeanne
in reply to a message by babybackribs
I like Jeanne, but I prefer Jean.
In my head Jeanne has the French "zhan" pronunciation. But in real life (in the U.S.) I would assume it was pronounced the English way, "jeen."
Sometimes I've heard Jeanne pronounced (in the U.S.) as if it were Jeanie. I really dislike that. Jeanie is darling, but trying to make French Jeanne into a Scottish nn just makes my brain hurt.
