Janice Dickinson was one of the first supermodels. Dorian Leigh was the first one.

Janice Joplin (1943-1970) was a famous bearer of this name and was also a famous rock legend. She may have ended her life on drugs but had the heart, spirit and voice of an angel. A true hero.

Actually, she spelled it Janis.

Nah man, can't stand this name, it reminds me of that chick from Friends.

This form of Jane seems to have been invented by the American novelist Paul Leicester Ford for the title character of his book _Janice Meredith_, first published in 1899. I suspect that he blended the names Janet and Alice to create it. The story is set in New Jersey during the time of the American Revolution, but I've never found a real example born before Ford's book was published. [noted -ed]

An absolute boring name! BLAH.

This is my name and while I don't love it, I don't hate it either. Any other name on this site, no matter how hideous I consider it, has at least one positive comment posted--except mine! I don't believe one should dislike a name just because the writers of a popular television show elected to use it for an unsympathetic character. Nor do I feel the name Janice is boring--not nearly so much so as Anne, Sue, or Lynn! My name is out of style now, but it just may come back in fifty years or so.

I don't really like most names ending in 's' or the 's' sound, and this one is no exception.

This name is quite old fashioned, but I like the fact that it has the word nice in it.
