[Facts] Re: DJANGO
A number of different jazz websites offer the same reference as to the origin of the name of the famous Roma guitarist, Jean Baptiste "Django" Reinhardt. They state that "a reader points out that 'Django' is the Gypsy name for Jean ."-- Nanaea

Hi Nanaea ,What a very nice name you have yourself! Thank you for suggesting a possible meaning of Django. If it really means the same as Jean (John ) we think Django is so much nicer!Many thanks!

Yep, I kinda like the name Django better than the name John , too. I was surprised to discover that my life-mate (whose name is John , but he also likes Django better) happens to have some of the musician Django's music in his collection. My life-mate has very eclectic taste in music, and his collection includes the best from every genre.Congratulations on having chosen such a cool name for your baby! Oh, and don't forget to vote:http://www.behindthename.com/vote.htmlI see that someone else liked "Django", too -- unless that was you who voted already. :)-- Nanaea
