[Facts] Re: Is Jeanette a genuine French name?
in reply to a message by guasguendi
Since Jeanette appeared on the top 500 in 1936, there must be French women named Jeanette. I think it's safe to assume that the girls named Jeanette were French, considering this was before foreign names became a mainstay of the French popularity charts, and France's naming laws were stricter in 1936 than they are now (they were loosened in 1966 and mostly done away with in 1993).
