Jeanne

原Jeanne Aubert was a French singer and actress. Born Jeanne Perrinot in Paris, France to an aristocratic father and a former flower girl, she was pushed by her mother into showbusiness. At age five, she began performing on stage at the Théâtre du Châtelet. As a teenager, she was given voice and music lessons and at age eighteen appeared in an elaborate Mistinguett production at the Casino de Paris. In 1928, she helped organize the first female branch of the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne, a Roman Catholic apostolic organization for young people. Jeanne Aubert served as the first president of the JOCF of France.

原My name is Jeanne. Upon seeing that, you're thinking "Je-Anne", or maybe "Jean", maybe even something else. I've had to say, explain, spell and pronounce my name for 50 years now. Sigh. In an average work day, I'm called "Jamie" about 10 times. If I have to hand my drivers license to someone, they never know how to say my name and just look at me like "Help Me". I got teased when I was young "I Dream of Jeannie", and then the song "I Dream Of Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair". And of course all the teasing "If you're a Genie will you really grant me three wishes"? It's been 50 long years of having a name I never have liked. My older sisters got names that I would consider good, "Judy" and "Julie". Perhaps if the spelling of it included an "I", it would have just been easier all of these years. Easy enough to add I suppose, I just never did. And I don't know why. It would have been easier for my mother to spell it with an "I" to begin with on my birth certificate, yes?I frequently have allergy issues which makes me sound stuffed up. Try saying the letter "N" with a stuffy nose. See? It comes out sounding like "Gee - Dee". UGH the story of my life.So, this is my personal impression of the name - perhaps it's cute for the right person who can pull off the "Jeannie" or "Genie" thing. (I am blonde with long hair though). It's fine for someone else who doesn't mind having to correct 99% of people who say it wrong. But for me, it's just irritating and frustrating every day to have this name.Thanks for listening.

原Jeanne was a very popular name in France in the early 1900's, and after a brief period of unpopularity, it has made a comeback. It is apparently the 2nd most common name given to girls born in the 20th century, probably because it was ranked very high on yearly popularity charts for quite a while.

原France would be different for sure, but I've only known Americans with this name and they all pronounced it like "Jean".

原It kind of does look like jee-ann... But anyways, it's a lot prettier than just Jean. Although, the pronunciation in France looks like it's the same as the male name Jean... Not sure though.

原"Jee-ann"? No, it's "Jean" but with "ne" on the end.

原I always thought it was pronounced jee-Ann.

原I know someone with this name who pronounces it Gee-Ahn. But that seems quite unusual to me.

原I think this name is gorgeous when pronounced correctly in French. In English, you'll likely be called "Jean" though, which isn't very pretty. No offense, my mom's name is Jean and she's not too fond of it. I would name our daughter this if we were living in France instead of the US.
