[Opinions] Jeannette
For some reason, I suddenly really like the name Jeannette. I can't decide if I like it better as a fn or a mn, but I think I'm leaning towards a fn at the moment.
Wdyt of Jeannette? Do you prefer it as a fn or mn? Do you have any fn/mn suggestions?

Honestly, Jeanette doesn't excite me. However, I think the positives are that you don't hear it every day and it has an exotic french feeling about it. So if you love it go with it!
I love it! I'd prefer it with only one 'N', but I like it just the same. It reminds me of the beautiful, talented actress Jeanette MacDonald of the 1930s. I think it would make a great first name.

I think Jeannette is very pretty. I would probably consider it myself, but I love Janis and Janet and Jane and Joan and Jean and Janine more, so it gets pushed down to far for me to think about it much. :( As either a first or a middle name, I think it's fabulous.
As far as combos go...well, Jeannette Isabella comes to mind, of course. ;) So does Jeannette Lucia (for light, as in the torch Jeannette Isabella's supposed to bring). Ivy Jeannette, as well. Clara Jeannette, Daphne Jeannette, Jeannette Mariela (like Jeannette Isabella, but more interesting), Jeannette Faustina, Jeannette Francesca, Jeannette Talitha, Jeannette Nicolina?
Three or four syllables would be my preference for a middle name. Jeannette Clover and Jeannette Ruth feel unbalanced as far as rhythm goes, but Jeannette Ophelia and Jeannette Alexandra are fabulous...as far as rhythm goes. Your mileage might vary as far as the names themselves are concerned. ;)

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

I've really been liking this name a lot lately, too. It seems like it would make a very pretty first or middle name.

Jeannette is my Mom's name.
I've grown to like it - shame I can't say the same about my mom, who's not so fond of her name! Her mn is Alice.
