There's a character in the movie "Mean Girls" who's named Janis Ian.

I'm not much of a fan of the name Janice, as I don't like many names ending in the 's' sound, and because the name has a rather harsh sound to it, but I prefer this spelling, as this makes me think of Janis Joplin rather than Janice Dickinson. Of course, the pronunciation isn't any different.

I much prefer the spelling Janice. There's just no reason to spell it Janis. I have found that the vast majority of people who say they don't like the name Janice\Janis cite one of two reasons: It's dated and\or it's the name of the annoying character on "Friends." Neither of which is poor Janice's fault and no reason not to like the name.

I love this name because of the extremely talented musician Janis Ian. "At Seventeen" is one of the most beautiful songs to have ever been written.
