I love it. I think it's a great fn but also makes a great mn.
I like Janine. I think it's an easy one to gloss over, though... I feel this way about a lot of -ine names for some reason. Janine, Nadine, Pauline, etc. are all perfectly pretty names, but they're all sidekicks to me. I wonder why that is.
Anyway, I'd pair Janine with something like Marisa, Elise, or Katrina. Familiar twists on English classics. =P

My 10-year-old niece's name is Janine. I think it's rather sweet. It was more popular in the past than it is now; on the other hand, it was never mega-popular, which makes it seem less "dated" and more "retro." My sister struggled with the spelling for a while, and finally decided to go with the most crisp and clear spelling, Janine, and I agree it was the best choice. My niece is Janine Carys.
It's okay. Very dated and kind of mumbly, but much more attractive than Jane.
